Wizard Name Generator
Archaic names with the weight of a long study behind them — Alaric the Grey, Morwenna Spellweaver, Balthazar the Veiled. Wizards earn titles, so most rolls come with an arcane epithet that hints at what they're known for.

What makes a name sound like a wizard
Wizard names work differently from race names — it's less about bloodline and more about reputation. The sound is archaic and a little grand (Alaric, Balthazar, Morwenna), and most wizards of note carry an epithet that the world hangs on them: the Grey, the Stormcaller, Spellweaver, of the Silver Tower. This generator pairs an old-fashioned given name with either an arcane epithet or an evocative surname, so every roll sounds like someone with a tower and too many books.
When to use it
D&D wizards, sorcerers, and warlocks
The titled style fits any arcane caster, not just the wizard class. The epithet does characterization for free — the Mad reads very differently from the Wise. Pick one that matches your spell list and backstory. Need a familiar or the rest of the party? The fantasy name generator and the random animal generator have you covered.
Fantasy fiction mages
Whether you want a Gandalf-style mentor (the Grey) or a sinister archmage (the Veiled, the Hollow), the pool spans wise to wicked. Roll until the epithet matches the role the character plays in your story.
Naming an order or academy
Roll several and treat shared epithets like of the Silver Tower or of the Ashen Spire as the same institution — instant worldbuilding for a mage college or arcane order.
FAQ
Does every wizard name come with a title?
About 60% of rolls add an epithet (the Arcane); the rest pair the given name with an evocative surname (Morwenna Nightbloom). Reroll for whichever style you want.
Male vs female wizard names?
The given-name pool includes both (Alaric, Lucius and Morwenna, Theodora). The epithets are gender-neutral.
Can I use these for a witch or enchanter instead?
Absolutely — the archaic-name-plus-title formula fits witches, enchanters, archmages, and hedge wizards alike. Just pick the epithet that suits the flavor.
