Legendary Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and his fellow writers had to come up with dozens of far-flung planets to fill the final frontier. And since many of these worlds were populated, all kinds of distinct characters showed up in the iconic sci-fi series.
It goes without saying that each alien had a very unique name, but what even the biggest Trekkies might not realize is that many of the actors in Star Trek also had names you don’t hear every day.
