Add code similar to this to your functions.php

add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
    register_post_type( 'your_custom_name',
        array(
            'labels' => array(
                'name' => __( 'Custom_names' ),
                'singular_name' => __( 'Custom_names' )
            ),
        'public' => true,
