Names

When a kit is born, it is up to their parents to name them. In a Clan, the name of a new kit is given with the suffix -kit at the end. An apprentice usually has the suffix -paw, unless otherwise noted. A warrior, however, has a different suffix entirely, sometimes having to do with their description or personality, or even a significance to another character. There have also been times where a character has earned their name based on an accomplishment, a discovery of great importance, or their actions in battle. A leader, however, has a different suffix entirely, taking on -star as the final part of their name, to signify their connection to StarClan and also their rank as leader.

This page contains an ever-growing list of all canon prefixes and suffixes in the Warriors series.

Tribe of Rushing Water names
When they are born, young Tribe kits are named for the first thing their mother sees. They often shorten these names during conversation, and do not change them as time goes on. The only exception to this is Stoneteller, who abandons their old name for the name of Teller of the Pointed Stones, or Stoneteller, and they keep this name until they die. Most Tribe names revolve around nature, including weather or animals, as these are what a mother sees first after their kit is born.
