How dragonborn names work
Dragonborn put the clan first, literally. In formal introductions a dragonborn gives their clan name before their personal name, because the clan is older and matters more. Clan names are long, rolling and full of consonant clusters: Clethtinthiallor, Daardendrian, Kerrhylon, Myastan, Yarjerit. They are meant to be hard for non-dragonborn to say.
Personal names are shorter and sharper, drawn from Draconic: Arjhan, Balasar, Ghesh, Torinn for males; Akra, Biri, Harann, Nala, Sora for females. Many dragonborn also have a childhood nickname, usually a word for a small thing, that only clan-mates use.
The generator gives both names in the proper order with a meaning. Add "chromatic bloodline" or "metallic, honour-bound" to the flavour box to lean the sound and meaning one way or the other.
Got a name? Give it somewhere to live.
The free map generator draws the town, dungeon or region, and you can pin characters to it. Most people who start here end up there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which name comes first for dragonborn?
The clan name. Results are written clan then personal name, which is how a dragonborn would introduce themselves. Swap them if your table prefers.
Why are the clan names so long?
Draconic clan names are deliberately elaborate and record the clan's history. If you want shorter ones, ask for "young clan, short name" in the flavour box.
Can I get a childhood nickname?
Yes, add "with hatchling nickname" and the meaning line will include one, usually a word for a small animal or object.
