A cleric's name often sounds like it belongs in a temple, and their epithet tells you which power they serve. This cleric name generator gives D&D 5e clerics a first name with a saintly ring and an epithet for their Divine Domain, from the healing Life Domain to the storm-calling Tempest Domain.
The cleric in D&D
A D&D cleric's power comes from a god, and each cleric serves one Divine Domain.
- Domains range from Life and Light to War, Tempest, Trickery, Knowledge, Nature, Grave, Forge, Twilight, Order and Peace. Each gets its own epithets here.
- Channel Divinity lets a cleric call on their god directly, for example to turn the undead.
- The word: cleric shares its root with clergy and clerk, from the Greek klēros, meaning a lot or share, as in the share given to God.
Naming a cleric
Cleric names here sound like saints and scholars: Cecilia, Cyprian, Winifred.
- The epithet tells you which power they serve: a Forge cleric might be "Keeper of the Forge", a War cleric "Hammer of the Gods".
- Name the god too: the Angel Name Generator has names for the messengers of the gods.
For the rest of the party, try the Paladin, Druid and Monk name generators.
