LOTR Human Name Generator

Tolkien never gave the Men of Middle-earth one naming style, because each people has its own language and history. The Dúnedain of Gondor and Arnor use Sindarin names such as Boromir, Faramir, Denethor, Beregond and Ioreth, built from Elvish roots like bor (steadfast), mir (jewel) and gond (stone); their kings reached for loftier Quenya names like Elendil, Meneldil and Hyarmendacil, and the Chieftains of the North all begin with Ar- (Arvedui, Arathorn, Aragorn). The Rohirrim are rendered in Old English: Éomer, Éowyn, Théoden, Elfhelm, Erkenbrand and Gríma, with women's names ending in -wyn or -hild.

Beyond those two kingdoms the palette widens. The men of Dale and Lake-town carry short Norse-flavored names (Bard, Bain, Brand, Girion). Bree-folk sound like English villagers with plant surnames: Barliman Butterbur, Bill Ferny, Harry Goatleaf. The Edain of the First Age (Beren, Húrin, Túrin, Haleth, Morwen) and the Númenóreans (Elros, Aldarion, Erendis, Ar-Pharazôn) mix Sindarin, Quenya and the harsher Adûnaic tongue, while Easterlings like Ulfang and Bór and the Corsairs Angamaitë and Sangahyando get only a handful of canon names.

This generator covers all of them, so pick the people first and the right sound follows: Elvish-rooted for Gondor, Old English for the Mark, Norse for Dale, Adûnaic with circumflexes for Númenor's later kings.
