There are so many routes you can go with regards to finding good names for female aliens, and I’ve listed some of my favourites in this article.
While you could go down the path of finding a name with a particular, “otherworldly” meaning or association, there are plenty of names that sound phenomenal that have nothing to do with meanings and everything to do with vibes, and I’ve tried to list a good number of each here so you get some ideas for your female alien.
Speaking of which, I’d love to know what in particular you came across this article looking to name. Is it a female alien character in a fictional book or fanfic you’re in the process of writing? A video game character who’s a female alien that you’re trying to name?

For the record – I hate the idea of having one long list of names to browse, as usually that makes it incredibly difficult for me to browse. Instead, I like having lists of names organized into types and categories, so I’ve done my best to do that here.
Insofar as names for female aliens that have a certain vibe or sound to them, I found a lot of the names have the letters “Y,” “X,” “Z,” and “Q” in them – which makes sense. These types of names are incredibly uncommon sounding and thus do sound quite alien and “foreign” almost – in an “otherworldly” sort of way. So I’ve included lists for female names that contain these letters in separate lists, in case you like the vibe of one particular letter over others.
I’ve thrown in a list including a number of names for female aliens that are very short in nature. Names like “Xyra,” “Elix,” “Io,” and “Qira” – as I feel if you’re after these kinds of names, it’s a lot easier to browse through a short list that’s all in one place.
And with regards to names that have meanings that work for aliens, I’ve included separate lists for those that have meanings or associations with “moon,” “stars,” or “planets” in general. That way if the female alien you have in mind has a specific slant or vibe, you can go directly to the section you want.
Hoping you find the name you’re after by browsing through the separate lists! And if not, that you at least have a number of ideas to spring off of so you find the perfect name you’re after. Now for the lists!
