Hrothgar Name Generator

Hrothgar are the lion-like people of Final Fantasy XIV, introduced in Shadowbringers and given female counterparts in Dawntrail. Their culture comes from Ilsabard, where Hrothgar society was historically split between the Helions, who served in the retinue of a queen, and the Lost, who wandered away from the queendoms to make their own way. That split shows up in their names: a Hrothgar name is a short forename followed by a surname, and the surname traditionally signals whether the bearer is a Helion tied to a queen or one of the Lost carrying a family or descriptive name.

The sound of a Hrothgar forename is the giveaway. They are one or two syllables built from hard, growling consonant clusters (kh, gh, zh, rr, hn) and rounded vowels, so you get names like Rehk, Grahnn, Ohsi, or Wolzhemi rather than anything soft or flowing. Bozjan-born Hrothgar such as Radovan and Bwagi show that Hrothgar living outside Ilsabard often adopt local naming styles, and the Turali Hrothgar of Dawntrail (Wuk Lamat, Wuk Evu) use a two-part structure with a shared first element.

A good Hrothgar name should be easy to say out loud in voice chat, fit within FFXIV's 20-character-per-name limit, and sound like it belongs next to a Roegadyn or Miqo'te name in a party list without being mistaken for either.
