Forged in stone and stubborn will…
Dwarves are builders, delvers, and keepers of ancient grudges and even older traditions. Their halls are carved from living rock, their histories etched into metal and stone, and their identities are inseparable from clan, craft, and lineage. A dwarf’s name is not just a personal label. It is a declaration of ancestry, reputation, and the work their forebears left behind.
Dwarven names tend to be strong, direct, and weighty. They should sound like they belong to someone who knows how to swing a hammer, hold a shield, and honor a blood-oath. A good dwarven name feels grounded and practical, but still carries a hint of myth and legend.
This dwarven name generator is intended for both Game Masters and players. Whether you need a grizzled veteran, a young forge apprentice, a stubborn clan elder, or a wandering sell-sword, the names below should give you a solid starting point.

Closing thoughts on these Dwarven names
Good dwarven names should feel sturdy, practical, and steeped in tradition. They don’t need to be elegant or mysterious. They should sound like they belong to someone who could survive a cave-in, hold a tunnel against impossible odds, and still complain about the quality of the ale.
Feel free to mix first names and surnames, tweak spellings, or adapt them to suit your setting’s version of dwarves. A mountain kingdom, a wandering clan, and a fallen holdfast might all use slightly different naming styles.
