DnD Name Generator

A Dungeons & Dragons name carries the race on its surface. The Player's Handbook gives each ancestry a sound: elves use flowing syllables and family names like Galanodel or Siannodel; dwarves take short, hard given names with a clan name such as Battlehammer or Fireforge; halflings pair cheerful first names with homely surnames like Goodbarrel and Tealeaf; tieflings choose infernal names (Akmenos, Damaia) or a single virtue name like Sorrow or Temerity; dragonborn lead with a long clan name and add a personal name; goliaths carry a deed-name like Lonehunter earned in life. Human names in the Forgotten Realms follow regional cultures, from Chondathan (Evendur Greycastle) to Calishite (Haseid Jassan) and Mulan (Aoth Fezim).

This generator mixes official sample names with originals written in the same phonology, so a Kriv Kerrhylon or a Ghaask Vorlathiir both read as dragonborn at a glance. You will also find drow house names, goliath clans, tabaxi descriptive names like Seven Thundercloud, warforged designations, kobold and lizardfolk names, aasimar and genasi, plus NPC-ready names with titles for your DM notebook.

For a player character, pick a name you can say quickly at the table; for NPCs, keep a list on hand so nobody becomes Bob the Shopkeeper.
