Get surnames and bynames for Warhammer characters: Empire names like Kreuzfeld and von Eichenbruck, Bretonnian de Carrefour, Kislevite Ursunov, dwarf Oathdelver, elf bynames like of Yvresse and greenskin brags like Gitkicka. About one in ten is a 40k Imperial surname such as Kessler.

About Warhammer last names

A surname in the Old World says where a character comes from before anything else does. The Empire's are German: trade names such as Fassbinder and Pulvermacher, place names such as Kreuzfeld, 'von' plus an estate for the nobility (von Eichenbruck), and grim or heroic compounds in the manner of Schwarzhelm. Bretonnian knights take 'de' or 'du' and a fief (de Carrefour, du Lac Noir), while their peasants make do with a trade or a nickname. Kislevites carry Slavic forms such as Ursunov and Praagsky.

The other peoples rarely have family names in the human sense. Dwarfs use a patronymic in -sson or -sdottir, or a clan and deed name like Oathdelver. Elves are known by their home or an epithet: of Yvresse, of Naggarond, Starhelm. Norscans and Chaos champions earn bynames (the Flayed, Skullreaver), and orcs and goblins brag in their own spelling ('Eadbasha, Gitkicka).

The list holds 1,000 entries, surnames and bynames only, with the peoples mixed so each batch covers several. About one in ten is an Imperial surname for Warhammer 40,000, such as Kessler, Varn and Drusus. A small share are surnames of the setting's own characters, among them Schwarzhelm, Helborg, Todbringer, von Carstein, Leoncoeur, Ironfist and Grudgebearer, and the place bynames use its map; the rest follow the style of each people.

How to choose Warhammer last names

Match the form to the people: a German compound for a Reiklander, 'de' or 'du' for a Bretonnian knight, a patronymic or clan name for a dwarf, a home or an epithet for an elf. A dwarf called de Carrefour breaks the setting at once.
'von' and 'de' imply land and a title. A ratcatcher or a peasant bowman carries a trade name instead, such as Rattenfänger or le Sabotier.
A byname is earned. Decide what deed stands behind the Raven-Fed or Trollbrecher before you use it, and let other characters be the ones who say it first.
Say greenskin names out loud. They work when they sound like something an orc would shout across a battlefield, which is why Stuntystompa reads better shouted than written.
Try the surname with the given name before you settle. A short first name carries a long compound well, and a long first name wants a short surname such as Gelt or Varn.

Frequently asked questions

Which names in the list come from the Warhammer setting itself?

A small share. Schwarzhelm, Helborg, Todbringer, von Carstein, Leoncoeur, Ironfist and Grudgebearer are surnames of well-known characters, and so are Gelt, Huss, Leitdorf, Ludenhof, von Raukov, von Liebwitz, Haupt-Anderssen, Jaeger, Kemmler, Bugman, Gurnisson and Ironhammer. Bynames of place and tribe, such as of Yvresse, de Quenelles, of Karak Kadrin or the Skaeling, use the setting's own geography, and many Empire entries are ordinary German trade surnames. The rest are fan-made names in the style of each people, so do not treat them as lore.

Do elves, dwarfs and orcs in Warhammer have last names?

Not family names in the human sense. Dwarfs give a patronymic or a clan and deed name such as Stonehammersson or Oathdelver, elves are known by a home or an epithet such as of Yvresse or Starhelm, and orcs and goblins take brag names like Gitkicka. Norscans and Chaos champions go by earned bynames such as the Flayed.

Did Warhammer Online ask for a last name?

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning let a character add a surname partway through its career, which is where many searches for this kind of list began. The game closed in December 2013. Tabletop, WFRP and Total War players still want a surname for rosters, character sheets and campaign logs, and whether a given game accepts a name is something only that game can tell you.

Can I use these surnames for Warhammer 40,000 characters?

Yes. About one in ten entries is written for the Imperium, from blunt names like Kessler and Varn to High Gothic ones like Drusus and Castellus. The Empire's German surnames can also suit a Guard officer or a hive noble if you want an older, grimmer sound.
