About Half-Orc last names

Half-orcs seldom inherit a ready-made surname tradition. Orc clans in most fantasy settings go by a clan name or an earned epithet, human towns by a family name, and a child of both ends up with whatever the people around them were willing to write down.

The core of this list is names that show both lines. Some families hyphenate a human surname with an orc clan name (Ravenhill-Dragh, Urzhak-Valmont) or fuse the two into one word (Urzwick, Mokford). Others carry an orc name that a town clerk translated or wore down until he could spell it: Splitter, Longknife, Urshaw, Gorvey. A third group turned an outsider's nickname into a name worn with pride, such as Lowbrow, Shorttusk or Edgewalker.

Around that core are invented orcish family names (Urzhak, Tazhbor), bynames from border forts, mines and toll roads (of Ironmere, of the Toll Bridge), names adopted from temples, mercenary companies and ships (Vesperbell, Greycloak, Kittiwake), names for scholars and gentlefolk (Inkwell, de Morzelle), and about a tenth of plain human surnames with a frontier or laboring feel, such as Armstrong and Stoker. The names are invented compounds, ordinary words and real-world surnames. None is presented as official material of any game, and the list was not checked against any setting's published names.

How to choose Half-Orc last names

Start with who raised the character and who wrote the name down. A half-orc brought up in a human town usually carries a human or softened surname, and one raised in a clan an orcish family name or an earned byname.
Let the order of a hyphenated name tell the story. Bagshaw-Urzhak reads as a town family that kept the clan name, Ughrak-Addyman as a clan family that added the human one, and either way you can decide which half the character drops among strangers.
A softened name such as Urshaw or Gorvey suits a family that has lived among humans for generations and no longer remembers the orcish form.
Keep epithets such as Lowbrow or Shorttusk for characters who have claimed the name for themselves, and agree at the table how other people in the setting use it.
Say the surname aloud with the given name. A guttural given name sits well with a plain surname such as Stoker, and a plain human given name can carry a long one such as of the Toll Bridge.

Frequently asked questions

Do half-orcs have last names?

It depends on the setting and on who raised them. Orc cultures in most fantasy worlds use clan names or earned epithets, human ones use family names, and a half-orc usually carries one of the two or a blend of both. None of the 1,000 names here is presented as official material for any game.

What is a good last name for a half-orc raised by humans?

A plain surname such as Stoker or Armstrong lets the character blend in. A softened name such as Urshaw keeps a trace of an orc grandparent, and a foundling raised by a temple might be a Vesperbell or a Goodhope.

How do the hyphenated names work?

Each joins a human family name to an invented orc clan name, as in Bowker-Gorvash or Ravenhill-Dragh. Use the whole name for formal moments such as oaths, contracts and introductions to a clan, and let the character shorten it to one half in daily life.

How do I use an "of" name such as of Ironmere?

It follows the given name in place of a family name, with a lowercase "of". It suits a character from a border fort, a mining camp or a toll road where nobody keeps family names, such as of Fort Kessel, and it can be traded later for an earned name such as Stonehauler or Gatemender.
