Born between worlds…
Half-orcs walk a hard road. Too human for many orc clans. Too orcish for many human settlements. Most grow up learning to rely on their own strength, instincts, and grit. Some embrace their brutal heritage. Others fight against it. Many simply endure.
Because of this, half-orc names tend to be blunt, practical, and forceful. Some borrow heavily from orc naming traditions. Others lean closer to human names. Many are a rough blend of both. A good half-orc name should feel tough, lived-in, and honest. No frills. No excess.
This half-orc name generator is meant for both Game Masters and players. Whether you need a scarred mercenary, a grim bodyguard, a reluctant hero, or a feared enforcer, the names below should give you a strong starting point.

Closing thoughts on these Half-Orc names
Good half-orc names should feel rough, direct, and grounded. They don’t need to sound poetic or noble. They should sound like someone who learned early that the world is not kind, and decided to survive anyway.
Mix and match first names and surnames freely, or tweak spellings to better match your setting. A tribal-raised half-orc, a city mercenary, and a former slave-gladiator might all carry very different naming styles.
