Gnome Name Generator - Fantasy Gnomish Names for D&D 5e
Generate gnome names for D&D 5e characters and NPCs. Reroll for a new batch, or share the seeded link so your table gets the same list of names back.
01
Shape the collection
Each collection receives a unique seed in the URL, so the same names can be reopened or shared later.
02
Collection awaiting input
A cast of characters starts with the right names.
Choose a race and gender to create a reusable collection of fantasy names.
This gnome name generator pairs a Markov-generated first name with a clan name such as Bengaen, Nolk, or Forari. About half the time that clan name is built fresh through the same Markov chain, and the rest of the time it is pulled whole from an 11-entry pool, so results vary in flavor from batch to batch.
Example Results

Questions
- Are gnome clan names always the same words?
- Not always. About half the time the clan name is generated fresh with the Markov chain, and the rest of the time it is pulled whole from an 11-entry list, so you will see both new coinages and repeats.
- Do gnome names differ by gender?
- Yes, the first-name pool is separate for male and female gnomes; the clan-name pool is shared.
