From the cozy hobbit holes of the Shire to the bustling streets of the Gate, Bilbo Baggins and Minsc have left a lasting mark on fantasy lore with their whimsical ways and nerves of steel. Use this list as inspiration to craft your own halfling names that capture the charm, cunning, and easygoing-yet-adventurous spirit of these pint-sized heroes.
Baldur married the goddess Nanna, and together they had a son named, Forseti, a god associated with peace and justice. Once grown, Forseti established a hall for himself called Glitnir, where he, like his father, settled grievances and reconciled foes.
Freyr reigned over Alfheim , a realm of the light elves. Like Freyr, the light elves were known for their peace and goodness. Freyr was also attended by the messenger Skirnir and the servants Byggvir and Beyla, who were husband and wife.
Sam works as a name for both a halfling and a fantasy human, but don’t be afraid to have fun with halfling names by exploring their full potential! Below, you’ll see a list of established halfling names from fantasy literature and even tabletop games, showing off how oddly familiar yet not-quite-human these names tend to sound.
Loki married the goddess Sigyn, about whom little is known, except that by Loki she had a son named Nari, or Narfi. Loki also reproduced with his mistress, Angrboda, a jötunn (possibly a troll) who gave birth to three children: Hel, who ruled the eponymous underworld called Hel, Jörmungandr, the sea serpent of Midgard and arch-nemesis of Thor, and Fenrir, the massive wolf fated to slay Odin during Ragnarök.
From Tadg mac Nuadat of the Fenian cycle—say that three times fast—up to Biróg in Irish mythology, the list of druid names descends from a complex Celtic tradition and folklore. Let’s examine some real and fictional druid name examples to get a handle on the Celtic and “Gaulish” rhythm to these names:
The name fit Odin's character nicely, as a kind of inspired fury and passion permeated his many thoughts and actions. In all his personae—as warrior and king, shaman and seer, traveler and trickster—Odin channeled a focused intensity and single-mindedness of purpose. Such focus was a boon; knowledge, magic, and war—among other domains over which Odin held sway—all necessitated such intensity.
