How do orc names work?

Orc names are built to be shouted: one or two syllables, hard consonants, and endings like -ash, -ak, -gash or -uk. Many orcs earn a new name, or a title, after their first great deed in battle.

Tribe names are warnings to everyone else. They describe how the tribe fights or what it leaves behind. For a player character, a tribe name is also a fast way to hint at a violent past they are trying to leave.

The same harsh style fits orcs in Skyrim, World of Warcraft and Warhammer, so these orc names work well outside D&D too.
