D&D 5E Tomb of Annihilation NPC name source/generator

[Eyes of Nine]

Anyone have a source for NPC names for Tomb of Annihilation/Chult/Port Nyanzaru?

Was some NPCs on the fly during my ToA game recently, but didn't have a list of names. I hope someone has some suggestions on how to come up with names for NPCs not named in the book?

Thanks!

This site does lots of generated names from different cultures. This one probably works for you : https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ethiopian-names.php

I use FNG for a ton of naming - but in ToA it doesn't explicitly tell me the real world languages the names came from. Do we know they used Ethiopian? Or should I maybe just use any various African and South American cultures for names and tweak?

From my old campaign when I ran ToA. Cheers!

That was just a thematic guess on my part

Fair enough. Well maybe I'll just use some Brazilian, Igbo, and Mandinkan names, as well as the awesome list above...
