What is a druid?

Originally, druids were people of high rank in old Celtic societies. They may be best known for their religious influence, but also served as legal authorities, healers, historians and advisors to leaders.

In fantasy settings, druids are often portrayed as having a very close connection to nature, leveraging natural forces to protect, heal and sometimes even damage. In certain contexts, such as in the Warcraft universe, druids can even shapeshift, changing their human forms into those of various animals.

Whether you're looking to create druids in fantasy worlds or more historical settings, this druid name generator should provide you with ample inspiration to get started. And don't forget, all names generated are completely free to use.

A history of druids

One of the most enigmatic, elusive, and inspiring topics in world history is the history of druids, which spans centuries. In early Britain, Ireland, and continental Europe, Druids were a type of priest who advised their communities on spiritual matters and sometimes on politics. These priests' diverse and secret beliefs, practices, and rituals were regarded as sacred by their societies. The earliest mention of druids in Roman writings dates back to the first century CE. Druidism can be traced back that far. They were regarded as significant members of the Celtic culture because they served as mediators between tribes and provided spiritual guidance. Their practices developed over time and spread to include a wide range of beliefs, practices, and even magic. Druids served as "keepers of the knowledge of the gods," officiating at rituals, granting blessings, treating the sick, and foretelling the future. In an effort to limit the druids' power, Julius Caesar ended the practice in AD 60 by brutally killing them all. Druidism largely disappeared from mainstream culture over the following centuries, but it continued in some rural areas even as modern Christianity became the norm. However, the druidic tradition was occasionally revived and revived again, and during the Renaissance of the 16th century, druids began to gain traction in literature and appeared in the works of writers like Sir Walter Raleigh and Robert Fludd. Iolo Morganwg and other writers of the time who were influenced by old druidic texts were largely to blame for the revival of druidism in the United Kingdom by the 18th century. The public was captivated by the largely romanticized Druidism they wrote about, and over the next two centuries, Druidism gained popularity. There are a plethora of Druidic orders and organizations in existence today that adhere to ancient rituals like nature worship, festivals, meditation, and divination. The revival of druidism at the end of the 20th century brought about a number of changes, and adherents to the druidic tradition are no longer obligated to follow the instructions provided in the ancient texts. However, Druidism's spirit has endured over time, and its influence on our culture cannot be denied.
