Naming a githzerai monk
A githzerai monk carries githzerai naming tradition into the monk's calling. Githzerai names are calmer and more contemplative than their githyanki cousins, favouring softer consonants and a meditative cadence that suits a monastic, mind-disciplined people. A monk — a student of body, breath, and inner balance — tends toward spare, contemplative names, sometimes a single syllable or a virtue. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
