How Firbolg names work
Firbolg naming traditions are humble, communal, and deeply intertwined with the natural world. Within their hidden forest enclaves, firbolgs rarely use personal proper names, addressing one another by family roles or daily tasks. When traveling among other peoples, they adopt names derived from nature or Celtic-inspired clan titles.
The three styles presented here cover traditional firbolg archetypes. Sylvan wardens use soft, mossy consonant clusters and natural prefixes like Bram-, Cedar-, and -willow, evoking quiet ancient canopies. Gentle giant names feature warm, rolling Gaelic-inspired syllables like Brogan-, Doran-, and -an, reflecting patient strength. Compound nature titles combine pastoral elements like Meadow, River, and Thorn, creating vivid descriptive names.
Firbolgs use clan surnames tied to sacred groves or natural landmarks, such as Deep Roots, Moss Hollow, Quiet Stream, Pine Shade, Green Brier, Oak Haven, River Bend, or Elder Bark. These names announce which ancient forest grove the firbolg protects.
