Meaning & Lore
Orc Naming Tradition
Orc names are built for impact. Short syllables, hard stops, guttural sounds — 'k', 'g', 'r', 'z'. D&D orcs in the older editions leaned brutal; later editions gave them more variety. Warcraft orcs took the template and made it cultural.
Many orc naming traditions have no written form — names are chosen by elders or earned in battle. The spelling on paper is usually a phonetic approximation.
