How the Leonin Name Generator works
A leonin name generator for D&D's lionfolk. Leonin are proud, fierce and loyal to their pride, and their names are short and strong, with a pride name or an epithet won on the hunt. Set a gender and a kind to name a leonin hero, hunter or chieftain.
How the leonin name generator works
Leonin live in prides on wide plains, and in settings like Theros they are fiercely independent and wary of city-dwelling humans. Their given names are two or three syllables with open vowels and strong consonants, easy to call across grasslands. A pride name works as a family name and is usually a compound about the sun, a mane, a claw or the land they roam. An epithet is earned, usually on the hunt or in battle, and replaces the pride name for leonin who have made a reputation for themselves.
Leonin characters
Pride is everything to a leonin, and a leonin who has left their pride carries the name as a reminder of home. Pick Name with pride for a leonin with strong family ties, or Name with epithet for one who stands alone.

FAQ
What is a leonin pride name?
A pride is a leonin family group, and its name is shared by every member. Pride names are usually compounds of strong images: a golden mane, a storm claw, a red grass plain. The generator gives pride names in both "of the pride" form and as a surname, so you can choose which reads better.
How do leonin earn epithets?
By deeds, usually on the hunt or in defence of the pride. A leonin who brings down great prey or wins a famous fight may be given an epithet that becomes their main name. Epithets are about strength, speed, pride and courage. The Name with epithet mode gives you one ready-made.
What sounds make a good leonin name?
Open vowels and firm consonants: a, o and u, with h, r, k and d. The names should be easy to roar. Avoid soft, lisping sounds, which suit other cat folk better. Leonin names are shorter and more regal than tabaxi names, which are playful and long.
How are leonin different from tabaxi?
Tabaxi are curious, wandering cat folk with whimsical names made of descriptive phrases. Leonin are proud lionfolk who live in prides and value strength and honour. Their names are shorter and more dignified. Use the tabaxi page in the fantasy section for a playful cat character.
