About D&D Dwarf Names
Dwarves are a proud, ancient race of master craftsmen and fierce warriors. Their names carry weight — hard consonants, strong endings, names earned through lineage and deed. A dwarf's name is often shortened to a nickname by friends, while the full name is reserved for formal occasions and official records.
Dwarf clan names are as important as personal names. Clans like Battlehammer, Bolderfist, and Ironforge are sources of immense pride. Male dwarf names tend toward blunt, powerful sounds (Thorin, Durgin, Baldur), while female dwarf names are softer but still grounded (Hilda, Sigrid, Ulfhed).
