Orc Name Generator
Harsh, guttural war names for savage fighters.
Orc names are meant to be barked, not whispered. They are short, blunt and heavy with hard consonants and growling vowels, Grosh, Ugthar, Morg, Karnak, sounds you can almost hear over the din of a war camp. Many orcs earn a fearsome epithet through deeds in battle, so surnames read like blood-soaked titles: Skullcleaver, Bonecrusher, Ironjaw, Deathgrip. Orc society prizes strength and reputation above all, and a name that sounds brutal is a name that earns respect. When you build an orc name, keep it clipped and forceful, favor guttural clusters (Gr, Ur, Kr, Th), and pair a snarling first name with a violent, honor-through-conquest surname that tells everyone exactly what this warrior is capable of.

FAQ
What do orc names sound like?
Short, harsh and guttural, heavy on hard consonants like G, K, R and TH. Think Grosh, Ugthar or Morg, sounds built to be shouted across a battlefield.
Why do orcs have violent surnames?
Orcs earn epithets through battle. A surname like Skullcleaver or Bonecrusher advertises a warrior's deeds, and in orc society a fearsome name commands respect.
Can I use these for half-orcs too?
Yes, though half-orcs often soften an orcish first name with a more human surname. For a fuller half-orc set, try our dedicated half-orc name page.
