Updated: 2026-04-24 (created: 2023-09-24)

The gnomes of RuneScape live high in the canopy of the Tree Gnome Stronghold, tinkering with gliders, brewing odd cocktails, and serving cheese on every possible dish. Their names are short, bouncy, and full of double letters, with a fondness for repeating syllables and unusual consonant clusters. This generator gives you names that fit right in among Bolrie, Hazelmere, and the Grand Tree council, perfect for adventurers, scouts, agility trainers, and quest-giving elders.

About RuneScape gnomes

Gnomes in RuneScape are a small, intelligent race living mostly in the Tree Gnome Stronghold and Tree Gnome Village. They are known for their advanced technology, particularly gliders and tracker mechanisms, as well as their love of cooking with strange ingredients. Despite their playful nature, they have a long history of conflict with khazard forces and a deep respect for King Narnode Shareen and the Grand Tree.

How gnome names sound

Gnome names tend to be two or three syllables, often with repeated letters such as double L, double R, or double O. They favor soft starts like Bol, Per, or Anit followed by playful endings such as -rie, -mere, or -nay. Surnames frequently reference trades, plants, or family branches, giving each name a sense of belonging to a larger clan within the stronghold.

Using these names

Use the generator for player characters in RuneScape inspired campaigns, fan fiction set around the Grand Tree, or original stories featuring tinkering forest folk. The names suit quest givers, agility course instructors, glider pilots, spy handlers like Sarble, and tavern keepers serving gnome ales. They also work well for tabletop RPG NPCs that need a lighthearted, slightly absurd flavor.

Tips for building a gnome character

Pair the name with a clear role in gnome society, such as engineer, cook, scout, or diplomat. Add a small quirk like an obsession with a single ingredient, a half finished invention, or a rivalry with a khazard sympathizer. Keep dialogue brisk and curious, and let the character treat humans and elves as charmingly oversized guests in their treetop world.
