[Top 100] Good D&D Cleric Names You Can Use
From scions to champions
Jpse_Miguel's picture BY: Jose M.


Clerics are mediators between the mortal world and the realms of the gods. Just as the deities they serve are diverse, they strive to embody the work of the deities. Not an ordinary clergyman, but a cleric with sacred magic.

They use a mix of valuable spells to heal and inspire allies with those that damaged and neutralized enemies. If the need arises, they can rely on their martial training to bring the power of the gods to their side and engage in head-to-head combat.

From choosing your domain to hand-picking the best spells, building a Cleric can be a lot of fun, but like with all characters, we need a solid name to be invested in our divine heralds.

Whether you draw inspiration from biblical sources or personal experiences, names anchor our characters to the game world, so it’s important to choose one that sticks.

To help you get your creative juices flowing we have prepared a chorus of angelic voices to invoke names from the upper planes…or the lower ones.

Pick up your holy symbol, oil your maces, and sing the litany for tonight we baptize our clerics with a long list of names!
