Roll the die to name your goliath (Just click it)
I made this goliath name generator as a resource to help DnD players get inspiration for a new goliath character and to help quickly come up with goliath names for DMs. In DnD 5e, goliath names are broken down into three parts: birth names, nicknames, and clan names. Birth names aren’t linked to gender in most cases, so the names provided here are suitable for any goliath character.
Nicknames are a description of a notable deed (success or failure), and can change over time. Clan names are five syllables or more and end in a vowel. Goliaths use all three names when identifying themselves, in the following order: birth name, nickname, clan name. However, “in casual conversation, they use their nickname” (Elemental Evil Player’s Companion, pg. 11).
Below you’ll find a list of 50 goliath birth names, nicknames, and clan names. Unfortunately, putting these in every combination (250,000 total!) was too big for the code in this generator to handle, so only a small fraction (6,000) goliath name combinations are included in the generator above. However, you can also browse the list of goliath names below if you prefer that method (and greater variety) over the goliath name generator.
If you’d like more help building your character’s background, check out my backstory generator, personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws generators. They each contain completely unique character traits — I didn’t just recycle the bits and pieces of the backstories from above.
Also, if you’re looking for a character name for a different race, check out my DnD name generator.
