If you know someone’s name and their company website, you can generate possible email addresses using patterns such as first.last@, flast@ and first@. This free tool lists candidates based on the details you enter; it does not verify them.
It also tries the middle name and nickname, strips accents automatically, and shows the mail provider visible in the domain's MX records. I explain how to verify the result step by step in my guide to finding email addresses.
How to Guess an Email Address from a Name
Enter first and last name
Add the company domain
Generate addresses
Review the results
You can paste the company website (https://www.company.com) or any colleague's email address into the domain field; the tool extracts the domain. If you know their middle name or nickname, add it in the optional fields.
Common Company Email Formats
Companies usually pick one format and apply it to everyone. For John Smith at company.com, the formats you'll see most:
john.smith@
First dot last. The most common company format.
john@
First name only. Common at small companies and for founders.
jsmith@
First initial plus last name. Common at larger companies.
johnsmith@
First and last name together.
j.smith@
Initial, dot, last name.
smith.john@
Last name first. Less common, but standard at some organizations.
Tip: if you know any employee's address (from a contact page, a press release or LinkedIn), take the format from there and apply it to the person you're looking for. It's often the fastest route.
How Do I Know Which Address Is Correct?
The tool guesses addresses; it doesn't verify them. The quickest way to check is Gmail: the "Open in Gmail" button adds the results to the To field of a new message (in groups of 40 when there are more). On desktop, hovering over them may show a name or profile photo; treat that as a hint, not proof. My guide to finding email addresses walks through it with screenshots.
If Gmail shows nothing, try a verification tool such as Hunter.io or Snov.io. When it checks the domain, the tool also shows the mail provider visible in its MX records (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho and so on). An MX record doesn't confirm that a specific address exists, and a missing MX record doesn't necessarily mean the domain can't receive email.
Personal Addresses: Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook
Pick @gmail.com, @hotmail.com or another provider instead of a domain and the tool generates patterns common in personal addresses. Since Gmail ignores dots in usernames, @gmail.com results are listed without dots. Personal addresses may include numbers or words unrelated to a person’s name. These candidates are a starting point, and name-based guesses may not identify the correct address.
Use It Responsibly
Use the tool for relevant professional communication, such as partnership discussions, job applications and collaboration requests. Finding an address does not give you permission to contact it. Follow the requirements that apply to your recipients and messages; sending a personalised message to one person is not, by itself, a compliance guarantee.
Privacy
The site's Google Analytics only receives usage events, such as that the tool was used, that an address was copied, or the type of domain-check result. The names and domain you enter are never included.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an email permutator?
An email permutator takes a person's first name, last name and company domain and lists every common email pattern they could be using — first.last@, flast@, first@ and so on.
Can you find an email address from a name?
For company addresses, often yes. Companies usually give everyone an address in the same pattern (like first.last@company.com). Guess the pattern, verify it, and you have the address. This tool generates the candidates; you still need to verify which one is real.
Why add a middle name or nickname?
Some people go by their middle name at work, and some use a nickname in their address. If you know either, add it and the tool generates patterns with those names too.
How do I know which address is correct?
Use the 'Open in Gmail' button to add the results to the To field of a new Gmail message, then hover over them on desktop. A name or profile photo can be a hint, but it isn't proof. For a closer check, try a verification tool such as Hunter.io or Snov.io.
Do dots matter in Gmail addresses?
No. Gmail ignores dots in usernames, so john.smith@gmail.com and johnsmith@gmail.com reach the same inbox. That's why the tool lists only dotless versions for @gmail.com. This doesn't apply to company domains that use Google Workspace.
Does this tool store my data?
Addresses are generated in your browser. The tool does not store the names you enter or send them to its server. The domain check sends the domain name to a public DNS service. If you choose “Open in Gmail”, the generated addresses are passed to Gmail.
