Draconian Name Generator
Harsh Draconic names for dragon-blooded warriors
Generate draconian names with the clipped, guttural sound of Dragonlance's Baaz, Kapak, Bozak, Sivak and Aurak soldiers, plus longer sorcerous names, female draconian names and battle epithets for any dragon-blooded humanoid race in D&D or original fantasy.
About draconian names
Draconians are the dragon-men of Krynn, hatched in the Dragonlance setting from the corrupted eggs of good dragons and bred in five castes: Baaz, Kapak, Bozak, Sivak and Aurak. Their names in the novels are short, hard and closed by a consonant, one or two syllables you could bark across a battlefield: Kang, Slith, Gloth, Fulkth, Granak, Cresel. Draconians have no surnames; they are known by their regiment, their caste or a deed. When the first female draconians appear in Draconian Measures they get slightly softer names (Fonrar, Thesik, Hanra, Shanra) that still end hard or in a rolled r.
The phonology that makes a name sound draconian rather than generically orcish is the mix of dragon-hiss and soldier-grunt: k, g, th, sk, zh and doubled s clusters, short vowels, and endings like -ak, -ith, -oth, -esh and -ul. Longer, more sibilant names suit the spell-casting Bozak and Aurak (Thessalor, Maugrith, Vakresh), while the brute Baaz and Kapak get the shortest (Gruk, Vok, Tesh).
This list mixes single names for rank-and-file troops, longer names for officers and sorcerers, female names, two-part names with a clutch or regiment word, and a few names with earned epithets such as Wingbreaker or Ninefingers. It also works for any dragon-blooded humanoid race outside Krynn.
How to choose draconian names
- Match name length to caste or role: one syllable for Baaz grunts and Kapak assassins, two or three for Bozak and Aurak casters and officers.
- Draconians have no family names in canon, so identify a character by regiment or deed (Kang of the First Dragonarmy engineers) rather than inventing a surname.
- Keep endings hard (-k, -th, -g, -sk); a name that ends in a soft vowel sounds elven or human and breaks the register.
- For female draconians, soften the middle of the name but keep a strong final consonant, as the novels do with Fonrar and Thesik.
- Use the epithet names sparingly at the table, for a named villain or ally; the bulk of a regiment should be short, blunt names the players can remember.
Frequently asked questions
What are draconians in Dragonlance?
Draconians are dragon-like humanoids created by corrupting the eggs of good dragons with dark magic. They served as the shock troops of the Dragonarmies and come in five types, Baaz, Kapak, Bozak, Sivak and Aurak, each with a different death effect.
Do draconians have last names?
No. In the novels draconians go by a single name (Kang, Slith, Gloth) and are distinguished by regiment or caste. This generator gives mostly single names, plus some two-part names and epithets if you want a longer handle.
Can I use these names for dragonborn or other dragon races?
Yes. The harsh Draconic phonology fits dragonborn, dragonkin, half-dragons and reptilian soldier races in any setting, though 5e dragonborn traditionally add a long clan name, which you can take from our dragonborn generator.
Are there female draconian names?
Yes. Female draconians first appear in Draconian Measures with names like Fonrar, Thesik, Hanra and Shanra, and this list includes a set of new female names in the same style.
