DnD Druid Names to Leave Your Enemies Quaking

Druids are wrapped in a cloak of mystery as wielders of magic known only to Mother Nature. They’re strangely in tune with animals, plants, and their surroundings. This sense of wonder is part of what makes it such an attractive class to play in Dungeons and Dragons, but the hardest part of creating your Druid is often giving them a name. 

A name tells you a lot about a character, which is part of what makes the process feel overwhelming. What do you want your Druid’s name to say about them? How does it reflect their personality? Whether you delve into history or look to fantasy for your naming inspiration, we know how hard the choice can be. 

That’s why we have this guide, one that not only offers you some incredible and unforgettable Druid names but also helps inspire you to create your own. 

Female Druid Names

They might be one with nature, but these women also contain all of the ferocity and resilience that comes with it. Druid women are strong and powerful, which is why their name should be a reflection of that.

These men balance the calm and rage of nature perfectly, embracing the power it offers and using it only when required. Like the women, they are exceptionally strong. And this is often reflected in their names, whether given or chosen later in life.

Druid Last Names (Surnames)

Surnames are a way of preserving family heritage and professions, an excellent format for keeping track of skills that were often passed down through families. The Druid surnames I chose here have strong Gaelic roots (which is fitting for a Druid), and underneath the surface there’s so much more to them. 

The Druidic class gave birth to many professions in its time, and these surnames are representative of that. In fact, the surnames here reflect three core professions—Judge, Bard, Physician. Names like Hickey mean Healer, and Ward comes from Son of the Bard, so it makes sense to use ties like this.

How to Come Up With a Good Druid Name? 

With names, history and origin can play a big part in what you choose. When struggling to come up with a Druid name, it’s a good tactic to plot out their backstory for information. Think about who they are and what they’ve experienced. Ask yourself where they’re from, and what kind of background they have What is their personality, and how would this potentially influence their name? 

Druids can have a range of backgrounds and alignments, which makes naming them a process that contains a lot of freedom compared to some other classes. You may also want to factor their race into the naming process. Their race might mean linguistic factors play a part in the naming process. 

You might want to give them a name that stays true to their mother tongue, or they may have other racial influences that perhaps led them to change their name later in life. Or perhaps their parents had reason to deviate from the norm when naming them. 

When people name their Druids, they often go for Celtic, Gaelic, or Norse roots because these are the most commonly associated languages and cultures for Druids. This can be a great place to draw influence from, especially if you follow the myths as a little prompt when designing your character’s backstory.
