How dragonborn names work

Xarthic rolls and hisses: rh, th, x, kr and sh, with vowels kept clear and stress on the second-to-last syllable. Words often end in -x, -r or -th, which gives names a scaly finish: Masax, Thrunax, Vinesh.

Personal names pair a root with an ending: -ax, -orn and -esh for men, -ra, -ith and -ess for women. Vorax is the Xarthic word for dragon itself, which only the bold dare to wear.

Clan names are long compounds with a clan ending such as -ar, -ix or -endar. Dragonborn honour clan above self, so in formal settings the clan name is spoken first.

Tips for choosing

Choose a clan name first and build the character's pride, or shame, around its meaning.
Shorten long names among friends: Gelthikazir becomes "Gel" to everyone but their grandmother.

About this language. Xarthic is constructed by Namewright. Its words and meanings are our own invention, not a reconstruction of anything historical. It is not the language of any published game, and not Tolkien's Sindarin or Quenya. The human naming cultures on this site are different: they use real historical name-elements.

Questions

Do dragonborn names have meanings?

Yes. Every personal and clan name is built from Xarthic roots, and the meaning appears with each result, such as "Storm" for Thrunax.

How do you pronounce x in draconic names?

As "ks", like in "axe". Masax is "MAH-sahks".
