Dragonlance Name Generator

Dragonlance names carry the flavor of Krynn's distinct peoples, and each one follows its own rules. Solamnic knights use a given name plus a family name, often joined by the honorific "uth" (Gunthar uth Wistan, Kitiara uth Matar), with surnames like Brightblade and Crownguard that read as old-blood heraldry. Silvanesti and Qualinesti elves favor long, flowing names with -thas, -anas, -iel and -ana endings, frequently shortened in daily use, as Lauralanthalasa becomes Laurana. Que-Shu and other plainsfolk take nature names in Common such as Riverwind, Goldmoon and Hollow-sky.

The smaller folk have their own registers. Hill dwarves of Flint Fireforge's kind use blunt Norse-style names with a forge or stone surname, kender pair a playful given name with a surname like Burrfoot or Thistleknot, and gnomes carry names so long they go by a syllable. Draconians use harsh one-syllable names such as Kang and Slith, minotaurs use short hard names and the clan marker "Es-" or "de-", and dragons often bear a grand true name (Khellendros, Malystryx) alongside a short nickname (Skie, Malys).

This generator mixes the canon cast of the Chronicles, Legends and War of Souls eras with original names built on the same patterns, so you can populate a Dragonlance campaign, a Shadow of the Dragon Queen table, or fan fiction without breaking the setting's voice.
