How dragonborn names work
In the most common D&D tradition, dragonborn put their clan name first. Clan matters more to a dragonborn than anything else, so they introduce themselves as Kerrhylon Arjhan rather than Arjhan Kerrhylon. This generator follows that order, and also offers the 'of Clan' form when you want it spelled out.
Dragonborn names have a deep, rumbling sound: hard consonants like k, r and d, and endings like -jhan, -rash and -ann. Clan names are often longer than given names, since they get passed down through the family.
Childhood names
Young dragonborn are often given a childhood name that describes a habit or trait, such as Climber, Leaper or Shieldbiter. Some keep it as an adult nickname. Choose 'Childhood names' to get these on their own, and pair one with a full name to give your character a backstory in a single word.
Male and female dragonborn names
Dragonborn names don't split by gender as sharply as human names do. In this generator, male names lean on heavier endings like -jhan, -rash and -gar, and female names on endings like -ra, -ann and -ideth. The neutral style mixes the two. If a name suits your character, use it whatever style it came from.
A useful test is to say the name the way your character's clan elder would: loudly, and with some pride, since dragonborn aren't shy about their names.
What a clan name says about a family
Another dragonborn hears the clan name first, so it carries the family's reputation into every room. A clan known for honour gives a young dragonborn a lot to live up to. A disgraced clan gives you a character with something to prove, which is a good hook for a paladin or fighter.
If two players both run dragonborn, decide early whether they share a clan. Cousins, rivals and strangers from feuding clans all play out differently at the table. For a party that also has a dark elf, the drow name generator gives names in a very different, colder style.
How to pronounce dragonborn names
Most of these names are said roughly as they are written. Put the stress on the first syllable of the given name (AR-jhan, HAV-il-ar) and keep the 'jh' soft, close to the 's' in 'measure'.
Long clan names can be shortened by friends, which is a nice bit of roleplay. Close companions might call Kerrhylon Arjhan 'Arj', while his rivals insist on the full clan name.
Dragonborn name generator FAQ
Are these official D&D dragonborn names?
No. They are original names built to match the general style of dragonborn names. Nothing is copied from official books.
Why does the clan name come first?
Dragonborn traditionally value their clan above themselves, so the clan name comes first. Swap the order if your table prefers.
Can I use these names in my campaign or stream?
Yes. Use them at your table, on stream or in a book. You don't need to credit us.
How do I make dragonborn siblings?
Pick a name you like and note its clan name. Then generate more names and give them the same clan.
How long should a dragonborn name be?
Given names are usually one or two syllables, which keeps them easy to say during play. Clan names can run longer. If the full name is a mouthful, use the given name at the table and save the clan name for introductions.
What is a good dragonborn name for a paladin?
Paladins suit given names with a strong, clear sound, like Medrash or Torrak, paired with a clan that has a reputation to protect. Generate a few lists, then read the best options aloud as part of your character's oath and keep the one that sounds right.

I wanted a name tool that's quick to use and doesn't make you sign up, so that's what I made. If you have an idea for a new generator, email me.
