WoW Name Generator by Race
Free lore-friendly character names for every WoW race, Alliance and Horde.
NameScroll's WoW name generators follow the naming style of each race, so an Orc name sounds different from a Night Elf name. Pick a race below, generate a batch, then copy the names you like or save them to your favorites.
Not sure where to start? Orc, Human, Night Elf and Blood Elf are popular picks. Looking for something different? Try Vulpera, Dracthyr or Haranir, or browse the Horde and Alliance races below.

WoW Naming Guides
Naming rules and tips for World of Warcraft.
How to Choose a WoW Name
A good WoW name is easy to read and say, fits your race and class fantasy, and still looks good in the chat window. A few quick checks before you commit:
- Fit the race. Start from a generator for your race so the sound matches the character.
- Keep it readable. Names you can say out loud are easier for other players to remember.
- Check the rules. Length and character limits apply. See our WoW naming rules guide.
- Have backups. A name may already be taken on your realm, so generate several options and save them to your favorites.
How WoW Names Differ by Race
Races in Azeroth follow different naming habits. These examples come from well-known lore characters. They show general patterns, not strict rules, and our generators are creative interpretations of them.
- Orc: Hard, clipped sounds and names tied to clan or deeds, as in Grommash Hellscream or Varok Saurfang.
- Human: A given name plus an inherited family name, such as Jaina Proudmoore.
- Dwarf: A given name plus a clan name, such as Muradin Bronzebeard. Bronzebeard, Wildhammer and Dark Iron are the three dwarven clans.
- Night Elf: Melodic given names with nature or sky-themed surnames, such as Tyrande Whisperwind.
- Blood Elf: Apostrophes and sun-themed surnames, as in Kael'thas Sunstrider.
- Troll: Apostrophes are common, as in Vol'jin and Zul'jin.
WoW Character Name Rules
WoW limits how long a name can be and which characters it can use, and Blizzard's naming policy bans offensive names and names that impersonate others. Read our guide to WoW naming rules before you commit to a name.
How the Generators Work
Each generator builds names from syllables, prefixes, suffixes and titles modeled on a race's naming style. Results are random, so every click gives you something new. Click a name to see a short breakdown.
Names are lore-friendly creative interpretations, not official lore, and we can't check whether a name is free on your realm. NameScroll is an unofficial fan project and is not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment.
