Fantasy Dragonborn Name Generator

Dragonborn in Dungeons & Dragons carry two names and value the second more. The personal name is short and hard-edged, built from Draconic sounds like kh, rr, zh, and sh: Arjhan, Kriv, Rhogar, Surina, Thava. The clan name is long, ancient, and shared by every member of the bloodline; the Player's Handbook gives examples such as Kepeshkmolik, Norixius, Daardendrian, and Verthisathurgiesh. Because a dragonborn's loyalty is to the clan above all, they traditionally introduce themselves clan-name first, though most players write it 'Kriv Norixius' for convenience.

Young dragonborn also earn a childhood name from their clutchmates, a plain descriptive nickname like Climber, Earbender, Shieldbiter, or Pious that captures a habit or a memorable incident. Some keep it into adulthood, and it makes an easy hook for a backstory. Notably, dragonborn do not use dragon-themed surnames like 'Fireborn' or 'Scalewing'; the clan name is a lineage, not a description of the character's breath weapon.

The names here include every canonical 5e example along with new personal and clan names that follow the same phonetic rules. Personal names stay to one to three syllables; clan names run four to six and stack unusual consonant clusters. Pick a personal name you can say fast in combat and a clan name you only need to say once, at the introduction.
