Dragonborn Naming Tradition

Dragonborn names in D&D 4e and 5e use a clan name plus a personal name, with the personal name often reflecting a deed or virtue. The phonetics lean Draconic — hard sounds, rolling 'r' consonants, vowel clusters. Think names that sound like they'd echo in a cave.

Dragonborn choose their own names at adulthood, separate from birth names. The adult name is often aspirational — a name they intend to grow into.

Appears in: D&D 4e and 5e (where they were introduced), Fizban's Treasury of Dragons
