Orcs, officially known as Orsimer in the Elder Scrolls universe, are a strong and proud race known for their martial prowess and honor-bound culture. Their naming conventions reflect their tough, direct nature and the clan-based structure of their society centered around strongholds.
Orc names typically consist of a given name followed by a prefix that indicates their clan or stronghold. Male Orc names often sound harsh and strong, ending in "-gro," "-gor," or "-gol," while female Orc names, though still strong, may have slightly softer sounds, often ending in "-gra," "-ga," or "-gu." The prefix "gro-" for males and "gra-" for females is added to the father's name or clan name.
The Orc naming convention is also popular in fantasy settings beyond the Elder Scrolls universe. Their strong, guttural names work well for warrior characters, barbarians, or tribal societies in many fantasy games and stories. Male Orc names like Dushnamub or Burguk and female Orc names like Shel or Atub showcase the distinctive style of this proud warrior race.
