How the fantasy name generator works
Each category draws on naming patterns built for that race or theme, so an elf name reads differently from an orc name or a place name. Generate as many times as you like: every click returns a new set, and nothing is stored. Use the names freely for characters, stories, games, or worldbuilding.
Names for every fantasy race and theme
Beyond the quick generator above, each race and theme has its own dedicated page with more names and background. Explore the categories below to go deeper on the one you need, from D&D characters to elves, dwarves, orcs, places, and ships.
