Names for tinkerers, tricksters and burrow-dwellers
Gnomes are the inventors and illusionists of fantasy worlds, and their names should sound like it. This gnome name generator pairs a bright first name with a nickname that tells a story and a clan name tied to a craft or a home — so every result already hints at a personality.
Two styles
- Name + nickname + clan — the full gnomish introduction, perfect for a player character.
- Name + clan — shorter, for NPCs and quick introductions.
Playing another race? The D&D name generator covers elves, dwarves, halflings, tieflings and more, and the random character generator adds a personality and a secret.

Frequently asked questions
How do gnome names work?
In most fantasy settings, including D&D, gnomes collect names: a personal name from their parents, a nickname or two earned by what they do, and a clan name. Many gnomes introduce themselves with only the nickname they like best. This generator builds all three parts.
Are these the gnome names from the Player's Handbook?
No — every name is original, written in a playful gnomish style, so you can use them freely for characters, NPCs, stories and games.
What makes a good gnome name?
Bouncy syllables, a hint of mischief and something that rolls off the tongue — think Fizzwick or Tibble. Nicknames should tell a tiny story ("Cogsworth" builds clocks), and the clan name hints at the family trade or home.
Can I get only female or male gnome names?
Yes. Use the Gender filter to get male, female or gender-neutral first names, or leave it on All for a mix. Nicknames and clan names suit any gnome.
