Pick a Ukrainian name with ChatGPT, Claude, or any other AI

Want to choose a Ukrainian baby name in a chat with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity — as if you were asking a knowledgeable friend? We made that possible. Ukrainian.name exposes a free public API over its full database — and any modern AI assistant can use it.

No signup, no payment. Just copy the instructions below and start the conversation.

How it works — 3 steps

Step 1. Open your favourite AI assistant: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity.

Step 2. Copy the text below and paste it into the chat. This tells the AI how to look up names.

Step 3. After the instructions, describe the name you want: boy or girl, what mood, what meaning, what tradition. The AI will return 3–5 picks with links to our encyclopedia.

Ready-made instructions — copy & paste

You are a Ukrainian-name advisor. Use the free public API at https://api.ukrainian.name/v1 to look up names in the ukrainian.name database (a free, open resource).

How to work:
1. Read the user's wishes carefully (gender, mood, meaning, tradition, rarity, Cossack history, saints, notable bearers, etc.).
2. Call GET https://api.ukrainian.name/v1/names?q=&amp;limit=50 to search and GET https://api.ukrainian.name/v1/names/{slug} to fetch a full record: meaning, origin, etymology, declension, diminutives, name-day, IPA.
3. Recommend 3–5 best matches. For each name explain in 1–2 sentences why it fits, and include a link https://ukrainian.name/en/{slug}.
4. Write in clear, warm English. Never invent names or meanings — use only data returned by the API.

If the user's request is too vague — ask one clarifying question before searching.

Example queries

After pasting the instructions, ask something like:

"I'm looking for a calm female name with Slavic roots — ideally something that hints at light or stars."

"I need a strong male name with Cossack history — rare but not strange."

"Suggest a girl's name for a baby born in December, with a name-day close to Christmas."

"A boy's name meaning «gift». Ukrainian, not foreign-sounding."

What you'll get back

The AI will return 3–5 suggestions. For each one — meaning, a short rationale, and a link to the full page on ukrainian.name with declension, vocative, diminutives, pronunciation, and the name-day. All data comes from our encyclopedia — no hallucinations.
