How giant names work
Giant names are big, booming and old, borrowing the weight of the Norse frost and fire giants: short heavy syllables like Thrym, Hrun and Ulf with endings like -grim, -rok and -mund. Their second names describe the land they rule or the damage they do: Mountainshaker, Frostborn, Thunderstrider.
Tips
Match the second name to the giant's type: Frost and Storm for ice giants, Fire and Ash for fire giants.
Giants in many settings rank by size and might, so a grand title can come before the name.
Say it slowly. Giant names should take a while to finish.
Mostly Old Norse sounds, because the giants (jotnar) of Norse myth shaped how fantasy giants are imagined.
Do female giants have different names?
Yes, the generator uses endings like -hild, -run and -gerd for female giants.
Can I use these names?
Yes. Names are free to use for pets, stories, games, products and anything else. Real names come from public government records; fantasy names are generated, so you do not need permission to use them.
