Baldur's Gate 3 Character Name Generator

Baldur's Gate 3 drops your custom character into the Forgotten Realms, so the names that feel right are the ones already used across Faerûn's races. Human names on the Sword Coast are close to late-medieval English and French with a fantasy twist: Ulder Ravengard, Isobel Thorm, Gale Dekarios. Elves use flowing given names with house surnames like Liadon, Galanodel and Nailo; drow reverse the mood with sharper syllables and matriarchal house names such as Baenre, DeVir and Xorlarrin. Tieflings often carry Infernal names (Damaia, Akmenos, Mordai) or a chosen virtue name like Sorrowsong or Bitter Hymn, while githyanki names are harsh and apostrophe-broken, in the manner of Lae'zel and Kith'rak.

Dwarves pair a Norse-flavoured given name with a clan name built from stone and metal (Thorgrim Ironbrow, Vistra Rockseeker); halflings and gnomes go homely and playful (Cade Tealeaf, Fizzwick Nackle); half-orcs favour blunt names and violent surnames (Thokk Bloodmaw); and dragonborn use long, consonant-dense clan names placed before or after a short personal name (Arjhan Kepeshkmolik).

Every name below is grouped by race, starting with the origin characters and key NPCs so you can see the standard Larian was working to. Pick the block that matches your Tav, then choose a name that also suits the class and background you plan to play.
