Generate goblin names in the classic fantasy style: short, spiky names like Grix, Snikkit, and Yeemik, plus goblin bosses, tribe titles, Warhammer-style grots, and cunning trader goblins. Suited to D&D, Pathfinder, and fantasy fiction.
About goblin names
Goblins are the fantasy genre's favorite small menace, and their names sound the part: short, spiky, and a little disgusting. Look at the goblins players actually meet at the table. D&D's Lost Mine of Phandelver gives us Klarg, Yeemik, and Droop; Tolkien's goblins of the Misty Mountains have the Great Goblin and Golfimbul; Pathfinder's goblins delight in names like Reta Bigbad and Poog. The common thread is one or two syllables built from hard consonants (k, g, z, x) and hissy fricatives (sn, sk, zz), which is why Snikkit and Grix read as goblin instantly.
Bynames do a lot of the work. A goblin called Vrek is fine; a goblin called Vrek Wormtongue or Nott Candlebiter tells you what he eats, what he steals, or what happened to his ear. Bosses take titles (Boss, Chief, King, Big Boss) that are proudly self-awarded, and shamans and witchdoctors get names hinting at frogs, moons, and bones. Trader and tinker goblins, in the World of Warcraft mold, get snappier names such as Gazlowe or Nixx Copperclutch, often ending in a double letter.
The best goblin names are fun to sneer. If it sounds like something spat through crooked teeth, it is probably right.
Tips for choosing a name
- Stick to one or two syllables for the personal name; goblins do not have the patience for anything longer, and neither does your table.
- Add a byname that reveals a habit or a wound (Halfear, Cheesethief, Boot-Eater) when the goblin needs to be memorable as an NPC or recurring villain.
- Give the boss a title he clearly gave himself, such as King Gribble the First or Big Boss Grukk, and let the tribe's name be equally grandiose.
- Use doubled letters (kk, zz, bb) and the sn-, sk-, gr- clusters for a classic feral goblin, and softer x and z endings for a mercantile or tinker goblin.
- For a goblin PC in D&D, pick something a little less gross than the NPCs so it survives a whole campaign of being said aloud.
Frequently asked questions
What are good goblin names for D&D?
Published D&D goblins include Klarg, Yeemik, Droop, Grol, Lhupo, and Snikkit, so names like Vrek, Nazk, Skabb, or Grix fit right in. Add a byname such as Wolfrider or Ninefingers to make an NPC stand out.
How are goblin names different from orc names?
Orc names tend to be heavier and more guttural, with harsh two-syllable forms like Grishnakh, Ugluk, or Thokk. Goblin names are lighter and quicker, favoring high, spitty sounds such as Snik, Zibbit, and Rikkit that suggest something small and sneaky.
Do goblins have surnames or family names?
Rarely in the traditional sense. Most goblins go by a single name and earn a byname from a deed, a deformity, or a habit, such as Skabb Ninefingers. Tribe or clan names, like the Cragmaw tribe, usually serve as the group identity instead.
Can I use these goblin names in my own game or story?
Yes. All the invented names are free to use in personal and commercial projects. Names of specific published characters, such as Klarg or Gazlowe, belong to their respective publishers and are included as reference points rather than for reuse in published work.
