Name your orc before the WAAAGH starts. This orc names generator pulls 260+ orc names across three pools (male orc, female orc, orc-clan surname) drawn from Tolkien’s Middle-earth orcs, Warhammer 40k Orks, World of Warcraft orcish names, and D&D orc tribal conventions.
Whether you need a name for a fantasy novel, D&D orc barbarian, Warhammer 40k Ork army, LOTR fanfic, or WoW Horde character, the pools produce orc names with properly brutal weight.
Select Male or Female and press Generate
Azog and Bolg (Tolkien Hobbit), Lurtz, Ugluk (LOTR), Thrall, Garrosh, Durotan (Warcraft), Ghazghkull Thraka (Warhammer 40k). The pool draws on all these traditions.
Yes. The pool works for D&D orc barbarians, half-orc characters, and orc tribal NPCs. Pair first name with brutal clan surname like Skullsplitter or Bloodfang.
The female pool includes -a suffix variants (Korga, Brunna, Murka) plus warrior names (Yazneg, Yurgha, Mhurren). Use for orc shieldmaidens, war chiefs, or family members.
Brutal compound surnames work best. Skullsplitter, Bonecrusher, Bloodfang, Ironclaw, Steelbiter, Doomhammer, Wargrider. The compound signals orc clan war honor.
Use WoW lore-appropriate names. Thrall-style honorable, Garrosh-style aggressive, Durotan-style clan-bound. Pair with clan surname like Frostwolf or Warsong.
Yes. Warhammer Orks use apostrophes and Z-heavy names. Try Ghazghkull-style names from the pool plus original combinations with Z and X consonants.
Orcs are larger, more military, brutal. Goblins are smaller, sneakier, thief-focused. Orc names: brutal hard consonants (Azog, Krash). Goblin names: short sneaky (Snitch, Grub).
Yes. Names are free for commercial use including fantasy novels, indie games, tabletop products. Avoid Tolkien-canon names (Azog) for commercial work.
