What makes a good dwarf clan name?

Two hard words joined together, where the first is a material (iron, stone, granite) and the second is a tool, body part or trade (hammer, beard, delver). It should sound like something the clan is proud of.

How do dwarf names work?

Dwarf names are short and heavy, built from hard consonants (b, d, g, k, r) and endings like -grim, -rak, -in or -dek. Female dwarf names often end in -hild, -dis or -ra. Most are one or two syllables, which makes them easy to shout across a battlefield.

The clan name matters more than the first name to most dwarves. It usually describes the clan’s trade or its proudest deed: smithing, mining, a famous battle. A dwarf who has been cast out of their clan might drop the clan name, which is a good story hook.

These dwarven names suit any fantasy setting with stout, stubborn mountain folk, so they work for Baldur’s Gate 3, Warhammer or your own world as well as D&D 5e.
