Dwarf Name Generator
Hard, hearty clan names forged in stone and iron.
Dwarf names in D&D are built to sound like they were hammered out on an anvil: short, hard consonants, rolling R sounds and a proud, grounded weight. First names such as Thrain, Baldrek or Durga hit fast and firm, while clan surnames celebrate stone, metal, hearth and honor, Ironbeard, Stonehand, Deepdelver, Forgeheart. A dwarf's clan name is a matter of deep pride, tracing a bloodline back through generations of miners, smiths and warriors, and it is almost never spoken lightly to outsiders. To craft your own, lean into guttural syllables (Thr, Bal, Dur, Grum), keep first names blunt and memorable, then bolt on a two-word surname that reads like a mountain hall's motto.
