Fire Giant Name Generator

Fire giants in Dungeons & Dragons are the master smiths and military engineers of giantkind, ruling volcanic strongholds and iron citadels under a strict caste system called the Ordning. Their names follow the Norse roots the game has used for giants since the original G-series modules: King Snurre Iron Belly from Hall of the Fire Giant King, Duke Zalto and Duchess Brimskarda from Storm King's Thunder, and their children Cinderhild and Zaltember. The giant tongue itself borrows from Old Norse and the Jotnar of myth, so names like Surtr, Sinmara, Logi and Hyrrokkin fit right in.

A convincing fire giant name usually has two parts. The given name is short and heavy on hard consonants and rolled r's: Skorri, Thrym, Ragnvald, Vigdis, Ketil. The second part is either a Norse-style patronymic (-sson, -dottir) or, more often in the Forgotten Realms, an earned epithet drawn from the forge, the volcano, or war: Iron Belly, Slagfist, Coalbeard, Furnaceheart. High-ranking giants may drop the epithet entirely and go by title, as Duke Zalto does, or take a title as part of the name (Forge-King, Ash-Thane, Ember-Mother).

The names below mix canon figures, real Jotnar from the Eddas, and original names built the same way, so a Dungeon Master can name a whole citadel from the ruling duke down to the apprentice smiths and still have every name sound like it belongs to the same people.
