Troll Name Generator
Guttural cave troll and Norse troll names
Generate troll names for D&D, fantasy fiction, and folklore-inspired stories: guttural cave-troll grunts, brutish descriptive nicknames, and old Scandinavian troll names straight from Norse legend.
About troll names
Troll names fall into a few recognizable families depending on which trolls you mean. The brutish cave trolls of Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Tolkien favor short, guttural syllables built on hard K, G, R, and TH sounds: Grok, Thrak, Krug, Ugluk. Two of those blocks smashed together (Grognok, Muzgrak, Rogthar) give you a longer name that still sounds grunted. Descriptive nicknames such as Bonecracker, Snaggletusk, or Bridgekeeper come next and usually describe what the troll eats, looks like, or guards.
The older folklore tradition is Scandinavian. Norse trolls and jotnar carry names like Skrymir, Hrungnir, Thrivaldi, and Bergrisi, and the trolls of Norwegian and Swedish tales are often just called by homely human names with a twist: Old Man Underbridge, Mother Mudgorge, Ketil Cavemouth. That style suits fairy-tale trolls that live under bridges and turn to stone at dawn. The list also has Icelandic trolls such as Gryla, two-headed pairs like Ugg and Lugg, sea and fire trolls, and titled chiefs.
A good troll name should sound like it comes from a big, dim, and dangerous creature. Keep it to one or two hard-hitting syllables plus an optional epithet, and let that epithet do the characterization: Krag the Hungry, Boruk the Regrower, Gorlag Two-Heads. Give a boss troll a full name and a nickname the locals whisper.
How to choose troll names
- Use one syllable for dumb muscle (Zog, Thak) and two-part names (Bolgruk, Ugrash) for troll chieftains and shamans who need a little more presence.
- Add a nickname that references regeneration, hunger, or a missing body part: trolls in D&D regrow limbs, so names like Boruk the Regrower or Skarr Threefinger fit the lore.
- For folklore or Norse-flavored trolls, borrow real Scandinavian given names (Snorri, Ketil, Hulda, Bergljot) and pair them with a rocky or icy epithet.
- Match the biome: swamp trolls get Bog, Mire, and Sludge; ice trolls get Frost, Rime, and Glacier; mountain trolls get Crag, Boulder, and Stone.
- Say the name aloud with a growl. If it sounds polite, add a harder consonant or cut a vowel.
Frequently asked questions
What do troll names sound like in D&D?
Fifth-edition trolls have no official naming table, so most DMs use guttural one- or two-syllable names like Grok, Thrak, or Muzgrak, sometimes with a descriptive nickname. Trolls in Giant-speaking regions may also carry Norse-style names.
Are these names good for WoW or Warcraft trolls?
Not really. Warcraft trolls use a Caribbean- and Zandalari-flavored style with apostrophes (Vol'jin, Zul'jin), which is a different tradition. Use the WoW Troll Name Generator for those.
Where do the Norse-sounding troll names come from?
Names such as Skrymir, Hrungnir, and Thrivaldi are giants and trolls from the Eddas and Norse sagas, and troll folklore in Norway and Sweden often uses ordinary Scandinavian names for trolls living under bridges and inside mountains.
Can I use these troll names commercially?
Yes. Invented grunt-names and descriptive nicknames are free to use in games, books, and products. Names taken from Norse myth are public domain; Tolkien-specific names like Ugluk and Grishnak are best treated as inspiration only.
