Meaning & Lore
Human Naming Tradition
Human names in fantasy settings are deliberately broad — they borrow from every real-world culture, which is the point. A D&D human campaign can pull from medieval French, Viking, Swahili, or Japanese naming traditions without breaking anything.
The human name list is the most flexible. That's a feature, not a bug.
