Top 50 Admiral Pirate Names

The Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730) produced some of history's most colorful characters. Real pirates like Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Bartholomew Roberts had names that struck terror across the Caribbean. A great pirate name combines a title, a first name, and a fearsome epithet.

Admiral was rare among pirates, used by those commanding multiple ships. The Chinese pirate Zheng Yi commanded 400 ships and earned the title. Pirate admirals were essentially warlords of the sea.
