Trident Name Generator

The trident is the one weapon that comes with a god attached. Poseidon's trident raised storms and split rock, Shiva's trishula carries three points for creation, preservation and destruction, and the Roman retiarius fought with a fishing trident and a net. So trident names pull harder toward the sea, weather and divinity than sword names do. The best ones read like the weapon was dredged up rather than forged: Leviathan's Tooth, The Drowned Sceptre, Maelstrom's Tine.

A few structures do most of the work. One-word compounds built from ocean vocabulary (Tidebreaker, Saltspire, Wavecleaver) suit loot tables and quick reference. Possessive names tie the weapon to a creature or deity (Kraken's Reach, Nereid's Kiss, Net of Rán). Epithet names such as The Fork That Split the Moon or Three Graves for the Wicked sound like something a bard sang about, which works for an artifact with a history. Invented words in a merfolk or Atlantean register (Vaelorith, Shal'azir, Thalassar) are best for weapons that belong to a non-human culture, and short nicknames like Old Salt or Hush fit a veteran fisher-warrior better than anything grand.

This list mixes all of those, plus a few mythological borrowings, so you can pick the tone your setting needs: a holy relic for a sea cleric, a cursed prong for a drowned king, or a sailor's trusty gaff.
