5e Name Generator Guide: D&D 5th Edition Naming

Choosing a name for your D&D 5th edition character helps them feel real at the table. The 5e Name Generator gives you options that fit official races and classes—whether you play a human fighter, a tiefling warlock, or a halfling rogue.

Race and Class in 5e Names

In 5e, names often reflect race: elves tend toward flowing, melodic names; dwarves use hard consonants and clan ties; tieflings may have infernal or virtue-style names; halflings favor cozy, nature-related sounds. Class can influence tone—paladins might have noble or oath-like names, rogues might suggest shadow or speed. Use the generator with keywords like 'elf wizard' or 'dwarf fighter' to get names that match your sheet.

Epithets and Surnames

Many 5e characters use a first name plus surname or epithet (e.g. Marcus the Steadfast, Gorak the Grim). Surnames can suggest family, place, or trait. Epithets work well for NPCs and villains. The generator produces both single names and full names so you can pick what fits your campaign.
