Harsh, guttural war names for savage fighters.

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.
