WoW Dwarf Name Generator

World of Warcraft dwarves are the sons and daughters of the Earthen, titan-forged stone beings who became flesh, and their names blend Norse and Scottish flavor with a working-class Ironforge bluntness. Canon dwarves like Magni, Muradin, and Brann Bronzebeard, Moira Thaurissan, Falstad and Kurdran Wildhammer, and Thargas Anvilmar show the pattern: one- or two-syllable first names heavy on hard consonants (Magni, Brann, Kurdran) joined to compound surnames made of stone, metal, fire, and beer.

The three great clans each have their own accent. Bronzebeard dwarves of Ironforge take names like Thurgin Deepdelve or Helga Stonebrow, and their surnames often reference forges, anvils, and brews. Wildhammer dwarves of Aerie Peak favor sky, storm, and gryphon imagery: Stormhammer, Thundermar, Skyreaver. Dark Iron dwarves from Shadowforge City lean into fire and shadow with surnames like Coldsteel, Emberfoot, and Slaghammer, and their leaders carry the Thaurissan name. Female dwarves use the same surnames with Norse or Scottish first names such as Sigrun, Morag, Astrid, or Eilidh.

Many playable dwarves in-game go by their surname alone, and Blizzard's dwarven voice lines are written in a broad Scottish accent, so a first name that sounds right spoken with a rolled R is usually a good sign.
