Naming a human cleric
A human cleric carries human naming tradition into the cleric's calling. Human names span a hundred kingdoms, so the tradition is broad — but fantasy humans lean on medieval European roots: Germanic, Anglo-Saxon, and Romance sounds that feel grounded, historical, and easy to say at the table. A cleric — a devoted channeler of divine will — tends toward solemn, traditional names, often paired with a title or holy surname. Lean into that flavour when you pick from the names above, and pair the result with a surname or epithet that fits the class.
