491 Best Jeep Names: By Color, Cool, Military-Inspired, etc (Curated & Ranked) + Generator

Jeeps began as vehicles for Allied soldiers in World War II but have been on the market for civilians almost as long — since 1945.^[1]

Popular among off-road enthusiasts, today’s Jeeps, like the Jeep Wrangler, are also favored for their durability, customization options, and classic design.^[2]

While you don’t necessarily have to give your Jeep a name, choosing a name can be a fun way to reflect your passion for your vehicle and the adventures it brings.

We list our Jeep name ideas below, including some names listed by color so you can find the perfect option for your Jeep.

Tips for Naming Your Jeep

If none of the names on our list above are perfect for your Jeep, use these tips to create your own ideas:

Make it personal. Above all, your Jeep name should be something that you love. Choose a name that has meaning to you, is funny to you, or immediately comes to mind when you think of your Jeep.
Use pop culture and historical references. You can choose a cartoon character that’s the same color as your Jeep, the title of your favorite book, an unusual word from a song you love… the possibilities are endless! If you’re not really interested in pop culture, you can use niche references or call upon history. Our list’s example of “Honest Abe” takes its name from the 16th U.S. President, Abraham Lincoln.
Get inspiration from your surroundings. Your city, county, or favorite trail can be great inspiration for your Jeep name, along with words inspired by the environment, such as “evergreen.”
Think about your Jeep itself. The vehicle can provide great inspiration for your name. For example, you might want to name a Jeep Wrangler after something related to cowboys and the Old West since the word “wrangler” relates to ranching.
