Dune Planet Naming Conventions
Many Imperial worlds use a single strong word, such as Arrakis, Caladan, or Kaitain. Others add a ranking or administrative tag: Giedi Prime uses a space-separated status word, while Salusa Secundus uses a Latin ordinal instead of a hyphen or apostrophe. Planet names almost never rely on Fremen-style apostrophes; punctuation is spare, and meaning comes from hard consonants, classical endings, or a second title word. Nicknames can sit beside formal registry names, which is why Arrakis is also simply called Dune in common speech.
Conclusion
Planet names work best when they feel old, territorial, and tied to climate or power. For related tools, try the Dune House Names Generator, the Sardaukar Name Generator, or browse all Dune Name Generators.
