Names with meanings, not just noise
Fantasy name generators for D&D, TTRPG and worldbuilding
DnD Name Vault generates a name and its meaning together — not “Aelar” but “Aelar — ‘sun-wanderer’, common among the long-lived elven kindreds.” Every race, class, town, kingdom and plane is covered, with ten names rendered the instant the page loads. No signup, no scroll wall, no click required.

Names by race
Thirty playable peoples, each with its own naming tradition — gender filters, subrace variants for elves and dwarves, and a derived meaning on every name.
Place names for worldbuilders
Batch-generate map-ready names with vibe filters — cozy, grim, coastal, desert, imperial, arcane — and export the whole list at once.
Fiends, gods, beasts and blades
Everything else a campaign needs named: demons and deities, dragons and familiars, NPCs, villains, spells, weapons, artifacts and even superhero codenames.
How the name engine works
Every name is composed from per-culture morphemes — prefixes, roots and suffixes that each carry a meaning. The meaning you see is derived from the pieces that built the name, so it is consistent and never fabricated. A quality filter rejects anything unpronounceable or accidentally rude, and a seeded generator keeps each page’s first batch stable.
- Ten names render on load — server-side, in the HTML, no click required.
- Re-roll for a fresh batch, or append twenty more without losing the first.
- Star names to a saved list that persists across every page on this device.
- Copy a single name or export the whole list as a text file.
