Chultan Name Generator
Given and dynastic names for the people of Chult
Generate Chultan human names for D&D campaigns in Chult and Port Nyanzaru: full names like Yosaw Talro'a and Esorit Ebogolo, given names like Kwalu and Fipya, dynastic names like Imbogoro and Kahaluru, and bynames like Korit of Mezro.
About Chultan names
Chult is a jungle peninsula in the far south of Faerun in the Forgotten Realms, best known at the table from Tomb of Annihilation and its harbor city, Port Nyanzaru. The adventure gives human Chultans a short set of sample names, and they set a clear pattern. Given names are brief, two or three syllables, and lean on open syllables: Atuar, Kwalu, Mezoar and Weshtek for men, Azuil, Fipya, Lorit and Tefnek for women. The family name is a dynastic name, longer and rounder, sometimes with an apostrophe: Agolo, Imbogoro, M'wenye, O'tamu, Talro'a, Zuberi.
Most of this list is invented in that sound and structure, because a campaign in Chult needs far more guides, traders and rivals than the book names. About half the entries are full names, a given name followed by a dynastic name, such as Chawek O'tamu or Pisil Yutambwe. The rest are given names alone, dynastic names alone, hyphenated compounds, and names with a home place or a trade, such as Korit of Mezro or Fipya the Gem Cutter.
These are made-up names for a fantasy setting. They follow the sound of the book's samples and are not meant to represent any real culture, and apart from those samples, kept here as anchors, none should be read as part of the published setting.
How to choose Chultan names
- Give important families a dynastic name and reuse it. Two rivals who are both Natombe, or a guide who turns out to be an Ol'wame, tells the players that houses matter in Port Nyanzaru.
- Keep given names short at the table. Two syllables such as Kwalu, Sana or Losi are easy to say and to remember across a long hexcrawl; save the long dynastic name for introductions.
- Use a place or trade byname for people the party meets once: Hipya of Tiryki Anchorage, Luwash the Dockhand, Guide Peshtu. It saves you from inventing a family on the spot.
- Write the apostrophe names down for your players. M'wenye, Talro'a and Um'tolo are simple once seen and hard to catch by ear.
- If a name turns out to match a real one from our world, pick another. The aim is a name that belongs to Chult and to nowhere else.
Frequently asked questions
What do Chultan names sound like?
Given names are short and open, like Kwalu, Osaw, Azuil and Fipya in Tomb of Annihilation or Anzuar, Keshtuar, Weshai and Yazuil in this list. Dynastic names are longer, with three or four syllables, as in Imbogoro and Utugelu from the book or Golombwe and Kahaluru here.
What is a dynastic name?
It is the term Tomb of Annihilation uses for a Chultan family name, the second part of a full name such as Yosaw Talro'a. In play it works like a house name, the kind carried by merchant princes of Port Nyanzaru such as the O'tamu and Talro'a families.
Are these names from the D&D books?
A small share are the sample names printed in Tomb of Annihilation, such as Atuar, Tefnek, Agolo and Zuberi. The large majority are new names built on the same sounds and the same given name plus dynastic name structure. They are a fan resource, and the Forgotten Realms setting belongs to Wizards of the Coast.
Can I use these names for non-human characters in Chult?
They are meant for human Chultans. Tabaxi, tortles, yuan-ti and other peoples of the peninsula have naming customs of their own, and the related generators cover them. A character of another ancestry who grew up in Port Nyanzaru could still reasonably carry a Chultan given name.
