510+ Giant Names: Powerful Ideas for Stories, Games & Worldbuilding

Giants need names that sound like they could shake the ground when spoken aloud. A weak name makes a ten-foot warlord feel small, so the right sound matters more here than in almost any other naming category. This giant names generator collects names built for exactly that kind of weight.

Inside you will find fantasy picks, mythology-based names, D&D and video game styles, elemental themes like frost, fire, storm, and cloud, plus funny and gentle options for softer giant characters. Every table below is organized by theme so you can find a fit fast.

Some sections pull from real mythology and folklore, and those are marked clearly with accurate context. Everything else is an original giant name built specifically for this collection, ready to use in games, books, or any other worldbuilding project.

What is a good giant name for a gentle character?
