The Vulcan race from the Star Trek universe is a complex and multifaceted culture steeped in a rich history and philosophy. Renowned for their logical and analytical thinking, Vulcans are often characterized as emotionless, but this perception is misleading.

In fact, Vulcans possess a deep and abiding respect for the natural world and a profound reverence for the sanctity of life. Their adherence to the principles of logic and reason is not a rejection of emotion but rather a recognition of its power and potential to cloud judgment. Their language and customs reflect this nuanced approach to existence, infused with a subtle blend of logic and mysticism.

From the distinctive Vulcan salute to the intricate mental disciplines of the kolinahr, the Vulcan race embodies a rich tapestry of culture and tradition that continues to captivate audiences across the galaxy.

Male Vulcan Names

In the early Star Trek series, male Vulcan names had to start with an S and continued to do so commonly. However later names have added more variety to this common prefix.

Like their male counterparts, female Vulcan names have a common prefix of T’. Over time more variety was introduced into the naming conventions, but the T’ is still used most often.

A List of Vulcan Names

As promised, we’re finishing up our discussion of Vulcan personal names with a list of the most common and notable names throughout history, along with their etymology and meaning. The list is broken up, alphabetically,  into three sections: A-R, T-Z , with separate lists for names starting with S and names containing the T’ prefix — as is common for Vulcan directories.

This list is by no means comprehensive and will be updated as time allows. If you’re interested in the etymology or meaning of a name that does not appear on this list, or if you’d like to know the source for a particular name, please feel free to email me. Some meanings are rather obscure, especially to offworlders, and I may be able to shed some additional light on certain traditions. I welcome your inquiries: [email protected]

NAMES A- R, T-Z

Names starting with s.

At the time of the Sundering, 28.6% of Vulcan’s population had taken S names to honor Surak.

NAMES starting with T’ prefix

oSidzhan–

Thank you for all of these marvelous resources on names. It must have taken quite a long time for all the research.

Can you expound on how you deconstruct a name to find its root meaning? I think this would be helpful. I have a hard time telling where the ‘breaks’ are in a word, since Golic Vulcan is a very clipped version of the more ancient language.

Thank you for the assistance.

s’T’Mihn

oT’Mihn —

You’re very welcome.

How do I deconstruct a name to find its root meaning? It helps to stare at the VLD for hours on end — if one has nothing better to do. 😉 But that’s exactly what I did. If a word doesn’t jump right out at me, I start breaking up the word into syllables — that’s where most breaks occur. If that doesn’t work, I start looking for possible prefixes, such as s’, sa’, k’ , etc. and/or adjectival endings, such as -ik , or other parts of speech identifiable by endings, such as -an gerunds. If I’m left with a possible root, say three letters, I’m not familiar with, I visit the VLD or other lexicon and start looking at everything that starts with those three letters. I treat each name like a puzzle. It’s a great exercise in flexible thinking.

Hope this helps. s’Sidzhan

Muy bonito el significado del Turak y Spock Así podré crear mi propio personaje Vulcano para dibujarlo, gracias

Gracias. Buena suerte con tu personaje Vulcano.

Thank you for this list of names and their meanings. I am writing a fanfic and am having the hardest time coming up with names for my characters.

You are most welcome. May your muse inspire you.

I’ve been drawing a blank on some character names as well!!!

oSidzhan —

This always amazes me. 🙂 What sort of freaked me out was seeing what my normal human name meant. Nothing was known of me, but as I saw that translation, I thought, “Holy cow, how’d he know that?” lol.

Humans often speak of the uncanniness of the underused sixth sense. Human amazement never ceases to amaze me. 😉

I want to take the name of Evoras, arev vohris, desert breeze, upon me, but wonder if it is gender specific. I do not specifically like the way it sounds or feel a connection with the translation, but the name seemed to call to me. Please let me know.

My apologies for not replying sooner. I’ve been in a galaxy far, far away. Vulcan names are not gender specific, unless the T’ prefix is specified. Although it’s not logical, if a name speaks to you, it may be calling you to a higher purpose.

Firstly, thank you for putting this all together. This is an amazing resource! Secondly, how is Elonat pronounced? Is there any rule of thumb about pronunciation of Vulcan names?

Your kind words are most appreciated. I hope to return to continuing my research soon.

A close approximation of the pronunciation of “Elonat” is: ey-LONE-aht

Here’s the original source to Golic Vulcan pronunciation that was developed many years ago by the Vulcan Language Institute: http://www.vli-online.org/lesson01.htm

I hope this helps.

Thank you very much for such a detailed and useful disclosure of the topic of Vulcan names. I found a lot of new and interesting things. I would like to ask your permission to translate these articles into Russian. Let me do this, please. I will keep your copyright and provide a link to your articles if you agree to the translation.

Greetings, Juliy. Yes, you have my permission and I apologize for not responding sooner! This comment escaped my notice. I hope you went ahead with your translation. If so, I would love to see it, if you can provide a link. I don’t speak Russian, but I enjoy languages. Thank you for keeping my copyright and providing a link to my articles.

Tonk’peh — stariben du Vuhlkansu ha. Kuv ni — galashau ish nash-veh. Beglanau n’fam-tor t’*t’Gai* |ri *T’Gai* u’ahm hi fa’ahm| hi ki’gla-tor is svi’vesht. Is-tor u’maat-ahm ha — il ein-vel vah. Kuv ni — maat-ahmlar ra.

Hello, do you speak Vulcan? If so, I would prefer that. I notice the use of “t’Gai” (not as a name, but before a name) and have seen it used in the past. Is it used as a clan name, or something else? If so, what are the clan names?

Tonk’peh. Stariben nash-veh Ba-Gol-Vulkhansu, hi ri k’ashiv stariben nash-veh Vuhlkansu la, fai’ei ri kup ken-tor wehksu gen-lis.

So, I will use FSE (Federation Standard English). The term “t’Gai” is a place reference. For example, my name simply means “Sidzhan of Gai.” Someday I will write about the place of my birth. You have also inspired me to research the clan names and present them in a future post. Thank you for your questions. Dif-tor heh smusma.

So I’m crazy late, but I was wondering about the name “T’Kumbra”? I’m writing a Solok fic and made T’Kumbra the name of a Vulcan poet. I don’t see it on the list, and wondered if there is a translation that exists (I’d love if it had to do with “night” or “moon”, but I’ll take what I can get). Thank you 🖖🏼

Your poet seems to be a lady who has mastered the concept of IDIC “infinite diversity in infinite combinations” or Kol-Ut-Shan . The name “T’Kumbra” is the modern form of “T’K’um ba-reh” or “lady with the three traditional points,” which refers to the three points in the IDIC symbol . It’s not what you were looking for, but it’s a very honorable name indeed.🖖🏼

On the contrary, that meaning is far better than I could have hoped for. The irony of Captain Solok’s ship being named, basically, “Lady of IDIC” is just too good. Thank you, Sidzhan 🖖🏼

You’re very welcome. Peace and long life.

Male and female Vulcan names

Discussion in ' General Trek Discussion ' started by I am not Spock , Feb 23, 2014 .

I am not Spock

I am not Spock Commodore Commodore

Usually male names start with S (and often end in K). Surak, Sarek, Spock, Stonn. Female ones usually have the T'P thing as a prefix. T'Pau, T'Pol, T'Pring, T'Plana Hath, T'Pel. And then you have oddities like Tuvok. Wouldn't a male version be more like Suvok? And of course , Saavik, a female character. I know human names fluctuate wildly and there are no rigid rules for naming your children. It's just an interesting observation about Vulcan names.

USS Triumphant Vice Admiral Admiral

Back in high school, my friends and I used to all have "Vulcan" names, and sometimes other people would ask me for ones for them, too. My rule of thumb was that if they were guys, five letters, first* 'S', last 'k', and the middle three letters would be from their human name. If they were girls, then 'T' and an apostrophe, then either a 'P', an 'S', an 'L', or a 'K', and then either two, four, or five** letters from their human names. I would try to keep it as close to their own names as possible within those parameters, and sometimes I would give them a couple of options and let them choose. I cheated for mine and took "Surak". Some of these actually ended up listed in our yearbooks as nicknames for students! Mine did. I make no claim to any sort of authority on this, but a lot of people liked it, and it seemed to fit most of the names presented in the shows up to that point. *Tuvok wasn't a thing yet in '93. My assumption now is that the 'T' at the beginning is a regional variant of the tradition that honors Surak from the region of their planet that black Vulcans are most prominent in. It didn't fit Stonn, and I didn't and don't care, 'cause screw that guy. **I was operating under the assumption that Saavik's name was actually T'Saavik and she was called just Saavik because the T' on her name made it unwieldy to human tongues.

There is no set rule for Vulcan male and female names. As already mentioned more than once here, the respective use of "S" and "T" is more common, but it's definitely not uncommon for them to be switched and for names to begin with other letters: Vorik (Vulcan male) Taurik (Vulcan male-we actually saw him in TNG before Tuvok) Lojal (Vulcan male) Kuvak (Vulcan male) Sakonna (Vulcan female) V'Las (Vulcan male) Valeris (Vulcan female) Selar (Vulcan female)

Is it just me, or do a lot of Vulcan names sound vaguely Slavic?  
The other theory I have regarding naming conventions is that adherence to the traditional naming pattern that honors Surak for males (and perhaps T'Pel for females?) is most important to the aristocracy. Sarek's family having descended from Surak himself, for instance. If a name doesn't fit the pattern, it probably means that it belongs to a "working class Vulcan", so to speak. Again, all complete conjecture on my part, but I take it as as good as anything until something definitive comes along.  

Melakon

Melakon Admiral In Memoriam

Along with all of the above, vulcan redshirt mentions some names sounding Slavic. As with USS Triumphant 's aristocracy theory, it's possible that Vulcan naming conventions indicate what region or province of the planet they're from.  
Truthfully, though, Vulcan names can be totally arbitrary and not based on anything specific.

There's something about two different character having the same Vulcan name (T'Pel) that I like. Of course occasionally two people are going to have the same name.

STAR TREK: 8 Women of Vulcan

Geek Girl Authority is celebrating International Women’s Day (March 8) with a look at Star Trek ‘s women of Vulcan! Spock may be the first Vulcan ( Leonard Nimoy ) introduced on Star Trek: The Original Series . However, we subsequently met several stellar women of Vulcan through  TOS and the following shows. Here are just a few examples!

T’Pring

Arlene Martel as T'Pring in TOS, "Amok Time," and Gia Sandhu as T'Pring in SNW, "Spock Amok."

Two versions of T’Pring.

In  TOS season 2 episode “Amok Time,” T’Pring was first introduced as Spock’s betrothed. In this episode, she evoked kal-if-ee during her koon-ut-kal-if-ee  ceremony with Spock. She succeeds in her goal to end her betrothal with Spock and instead marry Stonn. In this appearance, T’Pring was played by Arlene Martel.

RELATED: Read all our recaps of  Star Trek: Strange New Worlds here.

But the character of T’Pring enjoyed further development in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 1. In this series, the role of Spock’s betrothed is played by Gia Sandhu . During this time period, T’Pring is a recovery specialist at a Vulcan rehabilitation colony. She plays important roles in several SNW season 1 episodes and is expected to return in season 2.

Amanda Grayson

Mia Kirshner as Amanda in Discovery and Jane Wyatt as Amanda in Star Trek IV.

Two versions of Amanda Grayson.

Mother to Spock and foster mother to Michael Burnham ( Sonequa Martin-Green ), Amanda was first introduced in  TOS  season 2 episode 15, “Journey to Babel.” She subsequently appeared in  Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home . In these appearances, she was played by Jane Wyatt.

The character returned to play a significant role in  Star Trek: Discovery , where she was played by Mia Kirshner. These episodes revealed that Amanda served as a foster mother to Michael after her parents were seemingly killed in a Klingon attack. While Amanda is human, she plays an important role in Vulcan and Federation history. Furthermore, as first demonstrated in  TOS , she is directly involved with her husband Surak’s diplomatic responsibilities.

Kristie Alley as Saavik in Star Trek II and Robin Curtis as Saavik in Star Trek III. They are wearing similar costumes.

Two versions of Saavik.

Saavik was first introduced in  Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan . In the opening sequence, Saavik is seen undertaking the infamous Kobyashi Maru test. In this appearance, Saavik is played by Kirstie Alley.

RELATED: Read all our recaps of  Star Trek: Picard here.

The character subsequently plays a supporting role in  Star Trek III: The Search for Spock , and appears in a cameo role in  The Voyage Home . In these appearances, she is played by Robin Curtis. As revealed by  Star Trek: Picard season 3, a shuttlecraft aboard the  Titan-A is named after Saavik. This is to pay homage that, after her movie appearances, she became Captain of the first  Titan .

T’Pol

Jolene Block as T'Pol sipping out of a mug in Enterprise.

T’Pol.

Introduced in the first episode of Star Trek: Enterprise , T’Pol ( Jolene Blalock ) serves aboard the NX-01  Enterprise  under Captain Jonathan Archer ( Scott Bakula ). Initially posted aboard the ship by the Vulcan High Council, T’Pol eventually resigns her commission and becomes the first Vulcan in Starfleet.

T’Pol continued to serve aboard the  Enterprise for years after the conclusion of the main timeline of the series. Eventually, she was present at the founding of the Federation.

T’Pau

Kara Zediker as T'Pau in Enterprise and Celia Lovsky as T'Pau in TOS.

Two versions of T’Pau.

T’Pau was first introduced as a high priestess in “Amok Time.” In this episode, she was played by Celia Lovsky.

However, T’Pau returned in Enterprise  season 4, which explored important Vulcan backstory. In these appearances, the younger version of the character was played by Kara Zediker. In these episodes, it is revealed that T’Pau is an important figure in the Syrranite movement. This movement seeks to bring forth the true teachings of Surak to Vulcan. T’Pau is able to work with Captain Archer and T’Pol to succeed in the movement’s mission. She subsequently becomes an important minister in the Vulcan government.

Michael Burnham

After her parents were seemingly killed in an attack by Klingons, Michael was raised by Sarek and Amanda Grayson. She considers Spock to be her brother, and Spock considers her to be his sister. Because of her upbringing, Michael is able to administer the Vulcan nerve pinch and has a deeper knowledge of Vulcan culture than most humans.

RELATED: Read all our recaps of  Star Trek: Discovery here.

Michael is an important figure in the Federation, although her existence is widely classified at the conclusion of  Discovery season 2. At this point, she travels to the 31st Century and subsequently becomes embroiled in events on a galactic scale. Fortunately, her intelligence and leadership have spelled victory for the Federation in the past and the future.

T’Rina

Pictured: Doug Jones as Saru and Tara Rosling as T’Rina of the Paramount+ original series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY.

In the 31st Century, the Vulcans and the Romulans have fulfilled Spock’s dream of unification. This new unified planetary society is called “Ni’Var.” As President of Ni’Var, T’Rina ( Tara Rosling ) plays an important role: she oversees the readmission of Ni’Var into the Federation.

In  Discovery season 4, T’Rina and Saru ( Doug Jones ) become involved in a tentative romance. And T’Rina also plays an important function in the advancement towards First Contact with Species 10-C by performing an impressive mind meld.

T’Lyn

“The Stars at Night" - Ep#310 --Noel Wells as Ensign Tendi welcoming T'Lyn (Gabrielle Ruiz) in the Paramount+ series STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS.

So far, T’Lyn ( Gabrielle Ruiz ) has only played a major role in one episode:  Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2 episode 9, “wej Duj.” In this episode, T’Lyn served aboard the Vulcan cruiser  Sh’vhal . However, her “emotional outbursts” (by Vulcan standards) led to punitive spiritualism. Eventually, she was transferred to Starfleet to serve among humans.

RELATED: Read all our recaps of  Star Trek: Lower Decks here.

In  Lower Decks season 3 episode 10, “ The Stars at Night ,” it was revealed that T’Lyn will be working alongside Ensign D’Vana Tendi ( Noël Wells ) in the Science Officer Training Program. Hopefully, this means we’ll see much more of T’Lyn in the upcoming  Lower Decks season 4!

Every episode of  Star Trek is currently available for  streaming on Paramount Plus .

Characteristics of vulcan names.

Vulcan names often have a unique structure and sound that symbolize the Vulcan's logical and rational nature. They typically start with a 'T' or 'S' if they are female and male names, respectively. They also often include an apostrophe, which represents a glottal stop in the Vulcan language. Vulcan names are usually monosyllabic or disyllabic, reflecting the Vulcan's preference for simplicity and efficiency.

Star Trek Vulcan Culture and its Influence on Names

The Vulcan culture is deeply rooted in logic, control, and the suppression of emotions. This culture values knowledge, wisdom, and rational thinking, which is often reflected in Vulcan names. These names often carry profound meanings that reflect the Vulcan's philosophical leanings, their pursuit of knowledge, and their respect for logic and reason. The Vulcan's cultural emphasis on tranquillity and harmony is also often reflected in the peaceful and serene sound of Vulcan names.

The Potential for Queerness in Vulcan Culture

One fan reflects on how Vulcan names break from gendered conformity.

National Coming Out Day 2160x1080

startrek.com

One of the most utopian ideals presented in all of Star Trek is the philosophy of “infinite diversity in infinite combinations,” an acknowledgment and celebration of the expansiveness of lives, experiences, and elements in the universe. While IDIC was deliberately introduced into The Original Series , one of the most beautiful examples of this principle in action was accidental – Vulcan names, as they have developed over the course of Star Trek ’s history, allow for a thrillingly queer reading of Vulcan culture.

A 1966 memo to Gene Roddenberry from producer Robert Justman laid out the first set of “rules” for proper Vulcan names. He suggested that all Vulcan names “begin with the letters ‘SP’ and end with the letter ‘K.’ All names have a total of five letters in them – no more and no less.” While the rest of this memo and the series of replies quickly seize onto some of the more amusing possibilities here, like “Spunk,” “Spank,” and “Spork,” the basic idea of this proposed rule did make it into show canon. It did not wind up being quite so restrictive, as writers and producers rarely insisted on the initial ‘SP’ as opposed to a simple ‘S’ to start, but the names of Vulcan men such as Sarek, Sybok, Satok, and Surak all meet most of these criteria.

Both Sarek and Sybok have names the fit within the Vulcan naming conventions.

StarTrek.com

The naming conventions for Vulcan women are less explicitly codified, but there are some clear patterns to them as well. Vulcan female names are not restricted in length or by final letter, but they do tend to start with the letters “T’P,” like T’Paal, T’Pan, T’Pau, and T’Pring.

It seems clear, from looking at the list of Vulcan names over the history of Star Trek , that there are some fairly rigid gendered naming conventions in Vulcan society. However, in a fascinating and wonderful turn of events, just as many – if not more – Vulcans break these conventions rather than follow them!

Lieutenant Saavik, who appeared in the Star Trek films II, III , and IV , is played by women and uses she/her pronouns but has a name that follows most of the masculine naming conventions. Mestral, a Vulcan explorer from the mid-20th century who appeared in an episode of Enterprise , is played by a man and uses he/him pronouns and doesn’t follow either gendered pattern for his name. T’Klass, one of Surak’s students, is referred to with he/him pronouns while his name begins with the typically feminine construction.

Lieutenant Saavik, played here by Kristie Alley

This on its own might not be enough to suggest queerness as an integral part of Vulcan culture. After all, if Vulcan parents are giving their children gender-non-conforming names, that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with any child’s relationship to their own gender. However, it has been repeatedly established in canon that Vulcan names are essentially unpronounceable by non-Vulcans, even with the help of the universal translator. Spock says so in The Original Series , and in The Animated Series , Amanda mentions her years of struggle to pronounce her own Vulcan name that was given to her when she married Sarek. Since we don’t know these characters by their Vulcan given names, I do wonder how these characters came by their second names. Could it be that these are names that they chose themselves, and in doing so are deliberately reflecting their relationship to their own gender or queerness?

As a queer Star Trek fan, when I realized that Vulcan names might be following and breaking the gendered “rules” for as many reasons as there are Vulcans, I was filled with joy at the wonderful ideals that this would indicate about Vulcan society. Here is a planet and a culture full of fascinating, nuanced characters living all sorts of lives while exemplifying a whole spectrum of gender expressions – just like me and my human friends, here and now. I think of my queer community and the people I know and love, and I see us making the same sort of decisions about how we present ourselves as Vulcans might be making with their names. How do we want people to see us? How do we want the world to know and remember us? Do we want to throw our lot in with any one gendered convention, or multiple conventions, or none of them?

When I think about Star Trek as a vision of a utopian future, this Vulcan tradition of gender-non-conforming names stands out to me as one of the best embodiments of “infinite diversity in infinite combinations.” Even if it was not intended to make any sort of overt statement about queer, trans, and nonbinary acceptance, by naming characters in nontraditional ways Star Trek has created a radically hopeful vision of unchallenged, unafraid, open, and accepted queer life. While Vulcan characters have gotten into all sorts of conflicts over the course of the show, no one has ever claimed that their name or the way they use it is “wrong.”

Mr. Spock in

Beyond the rich possibilities for representation, I also find it profoundly satisfying that, of all the alien species we know and love in the Star Trek universe, this sort of open queerness and gender convention defiance happened on Vulcan in particular. Here on Earth, in 2019, there are still far too many people who think that living an openly, joyfully queer life is distasteful in some way. People still question the logic of me choosing to make my queerness “in your face” — that is to say, at all visible — but I did come out, and I continue coming out and choosing to live my queerness visibly and proudly whenever I can. I make these choices because I think that acknowledging and celebrating an important part of myself is healthy, delightful, and entirely logical, and I like to think that Vulcans would agree with me.

Choosing a gender-non-conforming name can be a very visible and overt expression of queerness – it’s a way of saying “I insist that you see me as I am.” And at its core, I think that coming out means knowing who you are, and insisting that your self-identification and self-definition is the only one that can possibly be true.

So, when I look at Vulcan culture and their relationship with naming conventions, I am able to see a society that understands where I am coming from as a queer person in the world today, and where I hope humanity and the universe is going – towards an understanding that engaging with your community and tending to your soul by honoring and expressing your identity is so logical it doesn’t even bear discussing. I hope that we all strive towards a world where coming out is entirely a moment of celebration, affirmation, and truth, without any fear at all.

Star Trek: The Original Series Cast & Character Guide

Star trek: enterprise cast & character guide, star trek: lower decks cast guide - who voices each character in all 4 seasons.

  • Vulcan female characters have played a variety of roles in the Star Trek franchise, from Starfleet officers to influential leaders on Vulcan. They have had relationships with Starfleet officers and have been proteges of Spock.
  • Some notable Vulcan women include Lt. Valeris, a disappointment and traitor; Admiral Patar, who met a tragic end; Lt. T'Veen, who was murdered in a hostage situation; T'Mir, who helped introduce Vulcan technology to Earth; and President T'Rina, who helped reunify Vulcan and Romulan races.
  • T'Pau, described as "all of Vulcan in one package," was a powerful and influential woman on Vulcan, while T'Pring's complicated love story with Spock has been given more context and nuance in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Lt. T'Lyn has emerged as a popular new Vulcan character, and Lt. Saavik and Subcommander T'Pol are considered legendary Vulcan characters.

Female Vulcans rank among Star Trek ' s greatest characters, and a few are even notorious. Star Trek: The Original Series season 2, episode 1, "Amok Time," opened up Mr. Spock's (Leonard Nimoy) Vulcan culture when he returned to his homeworld. "Amok Time" introduced two crucial female Vulcan characters, T'Pring (Arlene Martel) and T'Pau (Celia Lovsky), who set the stage for how the women of Vulcan would be portrayed throughout the Star Trek franchise.

Vulcan female characters run the gamut of being Star Trek series leads and supporting characters. Some have been Starfleet Officers while others proudly work on Vulcan. Star Trek's Vulcan women have had relationships with Starfleet Officers, and two have been the proteges of Spock. Influential and powerful Vulcan women have made an impact in every generation of Star Trek . One disgraced the United Federation of Planets in the late 23rd century while another is helping unify the Federation in the distant 32nd century. Here are 10 of the best and worst of Star Trek's female Vulcan characters.

Star Trek: The Original Series features some of the most iconic characters in all of science fiction with the crew of the original USS Enterprise.

10 Lieutenant Valeris - Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Played by kim cattrall.

Lt. Valeris (Kim Cattrall) is, perhaps, the greatest disappointment among Star Trek's female Vulcans, and she is certainly a sore subject for her mentor Spock. The first Vulcan to graduate at the top of her class from Starfleet Academy, Lt. Valeris was stationed on the USS Enterprise in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country . Valeris was secretly part of a conspiracy involving rogue Klingons, Romulans, and Federation officers who assassinated Klingon Chancellor Gorkon (David Warner) and framed Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner). Valeris and her conspirators' plan to prevent peace between the Klingons and the Federation was foiled, and Valeris was arrested for treason.

9 Admiral Patar - Star Trek: Discovery

Played by tara nicodemo, star trek: discovery.

Patar (Tara Nicodemo) is notable as a female Vulcan who achieved the rank of Starfleet Admiral. In Star Trek: Discovery season 2, Admiral Patar was among a group of flag officers who empowered Control, Section 31's threat assessment A.I. Control went rogue and took over Section 31, killing and replacing several Starfleet Officers including Section 31's leader Captain Leland (Alan Van Sprang). Admiral Patar was among those Control murdered and impersonated, a sad ending for a Vulcan woman who rose so high in 23rd-century Starfleet.

8 Lieutenant T'Veen - Star Trek: Picard

Played by stephanie czajkowski, star trek: picard.

Lieutenant T'Veen (Stephanie Czajkowski) is a Star Trek: Picard season 3 tragedy. T'Veen was the Science Officer of the USS Titan-A, and she was an essential part of Captain Liam Shaw's (Todd Stashwick) bridge crew. When Changelings led by Captain Vadic (Amanda Plummer) invaded the Titan, they stormed the bridge and held the crew hostage. T'Veen was murdered by Vadic in order to force Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) to surrender. T'Veen cried a tear before she was disintegrated, which indicates the bald Science Officer was half-Vulcan and half-Deltan.

7 T'Mir - Star Trek: Enterprise

Played by jolene blalock, star trek: enterprise.

T'Mir was the second foremother (great-grandmother) of T'Pol on Star Trek: Enterprise and Jolene Blalock played both roles in Enterprise season 2, episode 2, "Carbon Creek". T'Mir was part of a Vulcan expedition that crash-landed on Earth in 1957, making them among the first Vulcans to visit Earth over a century before Star Trek's official First Contact Day. T'Mir and her crewmates secretly lived along the unsuspecting people of Carbon Creek, Pennsylvania for months. Prior to her rescue, T'Mir sold Vulcan velcro technology in order to pay for one of the townspeople's college education.

In Star Trek's canon, T'Mir is the reason the human race has velcro.

Star Trek: Enterprise introduced new faces to the prequel series set a century before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series.

6 President T'Rina - Star Trek: Discovery

Played by tara rosling.

In Star Trek: Discovery 's 32nd century, T'Rina (Tara Rosling) is President of Ni'Var, the renamed planet Vulcan that is home to the reunified Vulcan and Romulan races, as well as the Romulan warrior nuns called the Qowat Milat. Initially reluctant to allow Ni'Var to rejoin the fractured United Federation of Planets after The Burn, T'Rina changed her mind after observing the heroism of Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) of the USS Discovery, who led First Contact with Species 10-C in an adjoining galaxy. T'Rina also sparked a romance with Captain Saru (Doug Jones), the first love story between a Vulcan and a Kelpien.

5 T'Pau - Star Trek: The Original Series & Star Trek: Enterprise

Played by celia lovsky in tos and kara zediker on enterprise, star trek: the original series.

Described by Dr. Leonard McCoy (DeForest Kelley) as "all of Vulcan in one package," T'Pau (Celia Lovsky) was the most powerful and influential woman on Vulcan during Star Trek: The Original Series ' era. T'Pau, the first person to turn down a seat on the Federation Council, oversaw the kal-if-fee ritual that severed the bond between Spock and his fiancée, T'Pring (Arlene Martel). Over a century earlier, Star Trek: Enterprise season 4 depicted how Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) and T'Pol helped a younger T'Pau (Kara Zediker ) overthrow the corrupt Vulcan government's plot to subjugate Vulcan to the Romulans and reinstall the teachings of Surak.

4 T'Pring - Star Trek: The Original Series & Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Played by arlene martel in tos and gia sandhu in strange new worlds, star trek: strange new worlds.

For decades, T'Pring was seen as a callous woman who wished to break her engagement to Spock in order to marry another man, Stonn (Lawrence Montaigne) in Star Trek: The Original Series season 2's premiere, "Amok Time." Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has added far more context and nuance to the genuine but complicated love story between the younger T'Pring (Gia Sandhu) and Lieutenant Spock (Ethan Peck). At this point in their lives, Spock and T'Pring tried to make their relationship work, but it was jeopardized by Spock's devotion to Starfleet and his attraction to Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush), which caused T'Pring to put the brakes on her and Spock's engagement.

3 Lieutenant T'Lyn - Star Trek: Lower Decks

Played by gabrielle ruiz.

Lieutenant T'Lyn (Gabrielle Ruiz) quickly emerged as the most popular new Vulcan female character Star Trek has introduced in decades. On Star Trek: Lower Decks , T'Lyn was banished from her Vulcan science vessel for being "too emotional," and she transferred to Starfleet's USS Cerritos. T'Lyn's dry logic has been a welcome and hilarious contrast to her fellow Lower Deckers, and she was pleased to receive a quick promotion to Lieutenant, junior grade. Deciding that her place is on the Cerritos after all, T'Lyn is a welcome reminder of how cool and genuinely funny Vulcans can be.

Star Trek: Lower Decks features an incredibly talented and prolific voice cast of actors. Here's who's who aboard the USS Cerritos.

2 Lieutenant Saavik -Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search For Spock & Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Played by kirstie alley in star trek ii and robin curtis in star trek iii & star trek iv.

Debuting in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan , Lt. Saavik (Kirstie Alley) was the first significant Vulcan character in Starfleet, and she has become legendary despite just 3 appearances in the Star Trek movies. Saavik served on the USS Enterprise during Admiral Kirk's battle with Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban). Saavik returned in Star Trek III and IV , where she was played by Robin Curtis, and she was crucial in restoring the resurrected Spock back to his proper Vulcan self. Although Saavik hasn't been seen since 1986, Star Trek: Picard season 3's backstory updated her canon.

In 2293, Saavik was promoted to become the first Captain of the USS Titan.

1 Subcommander T'Pol - Star Trek: Enterprise

Star Trek: Enterprise retconned Subcommander T'Pol to be the first Vulcan to serve as Science Officer and First Officer of the Starship Enterprise. T'Pol was a reluctant participant in the NX-01 Enterprise's maiden voyage under Captain Jonathan Archer, but she remained aboard the human vessel and gradually came to respect and befriend the Starfleet Officers. T'Pol's knowledge and efficiency were integral to the legendary voyages of the NX-01 Enterprise, while T'Pol herself shifted her allegiance from the Vulcan High Command to Starfleet. Jolene Blalock arguably delivered the finest portrayal of a Vulcan since Leonard Nimoy himself, and T'Pol is not only the greatest female Vulcan in Star Trek but one of the best Vulcan characters of the franchise.

Star Trek: 10 Best Vulcan Characters, Ranked

Leonard Nimoy's Spock was the first Vulcan to appear in the franchise, with many others following in his steps as Star Trek's universe expanded.

With their elfin ears, acute preference for logic, and unswept eyebrows, Vulcans have become one of the most well-known and emblematic alien species in science-fiction history. They were formally introduced in the Original Series fan-favorite episode "Amok Time," and have become a key component of every Star Trek  show or movie.

Leonard Nimoy's Spock was the first Vulcan to appear in the franchise, with many others following in his steps as Star Trek 's universe expanded beyond its first series.

10 T'Pring Eventually Gained Her Freedom

A member of the Vulcan aristocracy, T'Pring was bonded to Spock as a child as it's customary for their people. After Spock falls victim to his first Pon Farr , he returns to his home planet in order to unite with T'Pring, unaware of her plans to claim kal-if-ee and 'divorce' him in the process.

T'Pring is shown to be a very intelligent and determined female Vulcan, doing her best to achieve her goal of separating from Spock and marrying Stonn instead. Ceding T'Pring her freedom, Spock congratulates her on her 'flawless logic,' a compliment that she seems to enjoy.

9 Vorik Helped To Save The Voyager Multiple Times

First appearing as an Ensign aboard the Voyager, Vorik is a skilled engineer under half-Klingon, half-human Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres. Like most Vulcan males, Vorik was bonded to a female who was not able to help him when his Pon Farr hit in the Voyager episode "Blood Fever".

Vorik has assisted the crew during multiple crises, including skillfully recalibrating the ship's electro-plasma system and maintaining life support systems online after entering a dangerous Class Y planet. He was played by actor Alexander Enberg.

8 Valeris Betrayed Her Crewmates In The Name Of Logic

After impressing Captain Spock during her time at the Academy, Valeris was elevated to the rank of Lieutenant and given the post of helmsman aboard the Enterprise-A. She ultimately chooses to betray the crew by joining the Khitomer conspiracy to ruin peace talks between the Klingons and the Federation.

Related: Star Trek: The 10 Most Respected Characters In The Franchise

Valeris debuted in The Undiscovered Country as a replacement for Saavik, who was originally supposed to be the traitor. Given the fans' devotion to the female Vulcan, Gene Roddenberry decided to create a completely new character, which actress Kim Catrall helped name after the goddess Eris.

7 Saavik Has Trouble Understanding Human Emotion

Making her first appearance in The Wrath of Khan , Saavik is one of the first Vulcan females to be seen aboard a Federation starship. After failing the Kobayashi Maru, she explains her frustration to Admiral James T. Kirk , who proceeds to assign her to the Enterprise as a navigator with the rank of Lieutenant.

Akin to other Vulcans, Saavik has trouble understanding human emotion, a struggle that she seems willing to explore during her two next appearances in the franchise. She was played by Robin Curtis in The Search for Spock and The Voyage Home after the original actress, Kirstie Alley, refused to reprise the role.

6 Sybok Tried To Follow A Different Path & Failed

The Final Frontier completely altered Spock's backstory when Sybok was introduced. As Spock's revolutionary older brother, Sybok lived under Pre-Surakian Vulcan's much more liberal and emotional philosophy. His quest to find the Vulcan paradise known as Sha Ka Ree leads him to infiltrate a starship , where he's reunited with his estranged half-brother.

Blinded by his delusions, Sybok attempts to command the Enterprise-A through the Great Barrier, a gigantic energy field at the edge of the galaxy. He's eventually forced to face the truth when an evil entity threatens the ship, and he gives his life to save the others.

5 T'Pau Is A Modern Vulcan Legend

One of the most important figures in Vulcan's modern history, T'Pau first appeared to officiate Spock's wedding to T'Pring during his tumultuous Pon Farr. Known as an exceptional diplomat and philosopher, T'Pau is described to be the first person to refuse a seat in the Federation Council.

A younger version of the character appeared in several episodes of Enterprise , recounting her exploits as one of the leaders of the Surakian movement in the 22nd century. Two centuries later, during the time of The Next Generation , a Vulcan vessel with her name would be discovered by the crew of the Enterprise-D.

4 T'Pol Was The First Vulcan Aboard A Human Ship

Set before the events of The Original Series, Enterprise introduced T'Pol as the first Vulcan to ever serve on a Human ship. She was a mid-rank science officer aboard the Enterprise NX-01 , eventually ascending to the role of First Officer after a successful mission to return a Klingon courier to his planet.

T'Pol had a long career with the crew of the Enterprise, being part of several high-profile missions including a journey into the Delphic Expanse, various dealings with the Xindi, and battles against the Terra Prime terrorist group. She was bonded to Koss before the marriage was dissolved after a mutual accord.

3 Sarek Struggles To Understand His Children

While serving as Vulcan ambassador to Earth, Sarek married Amanda Grayson and fathered his second son, Spock. He first appeared in the fan-favorite Original Series episode "Journey to Babel" being played by actor Mark Lenard, who had previously appeared as the Romulan commander in "Balance of Terror".

Related: Star Trek: 10 Things That Don't Really Hold Up Today

Over the years, Sarek has appeared in multiple Star Trek stories, most recently popping up in various Discovery episodes as Michael Burnham's adoptive father. He's shown to be a kind, but stern individual who strives for logic above everything else, struggling to find the balance between Spock's Human and Vulcan sides.

2 Tuvok Is A Key Asset Aboard The Voyager

After serving under Captain Hikaru Sulu on the Excelsior and a short return to Vulcan, Tuvok joined Captain Janeway's crew aboard the Voyager as Chief of Security. He was a key player during the Maquis mission, working undercover to help a ship commandeered by Chakotay.

Tuvok married his bondmate T'Pel at the beginning of the 22nd century and fathered four children. He enjoys playing the Vulcan lute, breeding orchids, and playing kal-toh with Ensign Harry Kim. He has a close friendship with his Captain, Kathryn Janeway , whom he trusts implicitly and considers family.

1 Spock Originated An Entire Alien Race

Without Spock , Star Trek wouldn't have achieved its prized place within pop culture. The half-Vulcan, half-human first appeared in the Original Series rejected pilot, "The Cage," before joining Captain Kirk's Enterprise in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Leonard Nimoy originated the character, but several actors have played the Vulcan, with the most recent being Ethan Peck in Discovery .

Spock's mixed heritage is his biggest dilemma throughout the series, as he continues to search for logic despite his humanity. He's the most recognizable Star Trek character, usually representing the franchise despite the numerous characters attached to the brand.

100 Vulcan Names To Inspire You

Badge

(Choose a vulcan name from 'Star Trek' for your character.)

Vulcans are a fictional species of extraterrestrial humanoids featured in the iconic franchise 'Star Trek'.

Vulcan names appear pretty bold to us humans and, for good reason, these humanoids are way more advanced than human beings and have greater intelligence. If you are looking for character names , perhaps one of these Vulcan names might do the job!

Vulcans are portrayed as a highly intelligent species. They can even do telepathy!

They are known for their brilliant use of logic and not letting emotions hinder their thought process, take Spock for example. In other words, they’re a non-emotional species who rely solely on intelligence. Thus they’re actually very far ahead of humans in terms of progress and development.

As you would see in an image of one of the most famous Vulcans of them all, Spock, Vulcans are characterized by pointy ears and pronounced eyebrows which give them a peculiar look. This look and their sometimes difficult to pronounce names are an attempt to deliberately make them stand out from human beings.

The original Vulcan language is Golic Vulcan, so many Vulcan names come from this language. Typically, female Vulcan names begin with the letter ‘T’ , followed by an apostrophe and then the letter ‘p’.

Male Vulcan names are equally cryptic as the female names. Robert H Justman, sent out a memo in 1966 which suggested that all Vulcan male names start with ‘Sp’ and end with ‘K’.

He was the producer of the series the original series of 'Star Trek'. This memo was intended as a joke at first but it just might explain to us the origin of the name of the most famous Vulcan, Spock.

However, the mystery of Vulcan names is one that is far from solved. In one episode of the original series, Spock was asked if he had an alternative name.

To this, he replied, “You wouldn’t be able to pronounce it”. This suggests that Spock might have another name. Thus, perhaps Vulcans do have multiple names but tend to use only one.

Or it could be that Spock might be referring to his first name, as his full name is S’chn T’gai Spock. Whatever the answer is, it is undeniable that Spock is a cool name for any character!

The formal restrictions imposed by the 'Star Trek' movie franchise and the memo by Justman on the creation of Vulcan names no longer make sense for a fictional universe. A fictional universe is ever-growing and having restrictions placed on its components is antithetical to its very idea.

Therefore, today, Vulcan names are diverse and are not hindered by these former restrictions.

Most of the names featured in this list, unless mentioned otherwise, are gender-fluid and not restricted by their limitations. For more fantasy world names, take a look at these 'Star Trek' baby names and these 'Star Wars' girl names .

    In Star Trek, originally, there was a rule about Vulcan names. Male Vulcan names were 5 letters (in English, not Vulcan) and started with an "S" and ended with a "K" (like Spock, Sarek, or Surak).
