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.

Human naming conventions
A human given name pairs a meaningful root (Al- 'noble', Gar- 'spear', -ric 'ruler', -win 'friend') with a gendered ending. Surnames are often descriptive — Hawklight, Ashford, Blackwood — drawn from a family's land, trade, or reputation.
