Troll Names – Background & Tips

Troll names sound as lumbering and dull as the creatures themselves. Our Troll Name Generator creates primitive, threatening names for D&D 5e, Pathfinder, Warhammer and Norse fantasy. Trolls are known in fantasy for their supernatural regenerative ability, insatiable hunger and terrifying strength.

The sound pattern of troll names is primitive and expressive: short, dull syllables with grunting sounds, names that could come from the mouth of a large, dumb creature. Names like Grum, Thud, Smash, Crunch or Stump instinctively evoke troll. Female troll names are similarly lumbering but slightly softer.

In Norse mythology, trolls (Jötunn) are powerful nature spirits living in mountains, forests and caves. The troll from Scandinavian folklore is a moody, dangerous being that abducts people and guards bridges. This tradition shapes trolls in games like D&D, Tolkien's Middle-earth or Pathfinder to this day.

In D&D 5e, trolls are primarily known for their regeneration – only fire and acid prevent them from recovering from any damage. In Warhammer, trolls are large, dumb creatures known for their grotesque strength and smell. In Trollhunters and other modern works, trolls are sometimes portrayed with more depth.

For your D&D troll as monster or playable character: choose a name reflecting its primitive power. Short, lumbering names with hard consonants fit perfectly. Use our generator for male and female troll names.
