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,
        'has_archive' => true,
        )
    );
}

after it you can see a another option in your dashbooard left bar to add custom post. see more about Post Types
