About dnd god names

D&D gods come in two flavors, and a good pantheon needs both. The published settings give you names like Lathander, Pelor, Moradin and the Raven Queen: short, sayable at the table, and usually paired with a title that tells a cleric what the god is for (Tyr the Even-Handed, Selûne the Moonmaiden, Gond the Wonderbringer). Exandria pushes this further by naming its gods almost entirely by title, so the Dawnfather, the Wildmother and the Stormlord read as domains before they read as people.

The other flavor is the racial and monstrous pantheons, where the name itself carries the culture: Corellon Larethian and Sehanine Moonbow are liquid and elvish, Clangeddin Silverbeard and Dumathoin are dwarven and heavy, Gruumsh and Maglubiyet are built to be snarled. When you invent a deity, borrow that trick. Decide who worships it, write a name in that people's sound palette, then bolt on a domain epithet (the Patient Flame, Lord of the Last Hearth, Mother of Salt) that a player can remember without notes.

This list mixes roughly 300 canon D&D deities from the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Eberron, the Dawn War, Exandria and Theros with original gods in the same registers, so a homebrew god can sit beside Kelemvor or Ioun without sounding out of place.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Pick the god's domains from the 5e cleric list first (Life, Tempest, Trickery, Grave and so on), then choose or build a name whose epithet points at that domain; it saves the DM a lot of exposition.
  • Match the name to the worshippers: dwarven gods want hard consonants and compound surnames, elven gods want vowels and soft endings, and a human city's patron can be almost anything as long as it is two or three syllables.
  • Give every god a formal name and a common title (Kelemvor, the Judge of the Damned) so priests sound different from farmers when they invoke it.
  • If you are running an established setting, check whether the name you want is already claimed; Greyhawk alone has dozens of gods, and a Bane worshipper expects Bane to behave like Bane.
  • Dead or forgotten gods are some of the best plot hooks in D&D; keep a few names in reserve for the crypt inscription nobody can translate.

Frequently asked questions

Which D&D settings are these god names from?

The canon portion covers the Forgotten Realms (Faerûnian, Mulhorandi, Zakharan and Maztican gods plus the elven, dwarven, gnome, halfling, orc, goblin, giant and dragon pantheons), Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Eberron, the 4e Dawn War pantheon, Exandria's Prime and Betrayer Gods, and Theros. The rest are original names written in the same styles.

How do I name a homebrew god for my D&D campaign?

Start from the culture that worships it and the domain it grants. Build a two- or three-syllable name using that culture's sounds, then add an epithet that states the domain plainly, such as Korrath Ironwill for a war god or Ysmeril of the Silent Tide for a sea goddess. Short names get used at the table; long ones get abbreviated anyway.

Can my cleric worship a god that isn't in the Player's Handbook?

Yes. 5e lets any cleric domain attach to any deity the DM approves, and the appendix pantheons in the PHB and DMG are explicitly optional. Many tables use a setting pantheon, Exandria's gods, or an entirely homebrew list.

Are the canon D&D god names free to use in my own published work?

Names like Lathander, Mystra, Vecna and the Raven Queen are Wizards of the Coast intellectual property and should stay at your own table or in content released under the appropriate license. The original names in this list are free to use anywhere.
