This warlock name generator makes up a bargain-maker for a story or a game: a full name, the patron they are sworn to and the price they paid. Every patron is invented and belongs to no faith and no game.

Build the warlock from the bargain
Press New warlock name. Tap a part to lock it, then press again for the rest. Lock a patron to name a whole circle sworn to one being. Lock the price and press until a name seems to deserve it.
Where the word warlock comes from
Warlock goes back to Old English wǣrloga, a traitor or deceiver. Taken apart it means truce-breaker: wǣr was a covenant, pact or promise, and loga a liar. That is why this page gives every name a pact and a price.
Tips
Keep the patron and deal twenty prices to see what that being likes to collect.
Questions and answers
What is a good name for a warlock?
A good warlock name sounds old and a little cold: a rare first name with a surname made of dusk, ash, moor or thorn, such as Corvin Ashlock. Then say who the bargain was with and what it cost.
What does the word warlock mean?
Today it means a male magic-user, or in fantasy a magic-user of any gender. It comes from Old English wǣrloga, a traitor or deceiver, literally a truce-breaker.
What is a warlock patron?
In stories, a patron is the being a warlock made a bargain with for power. The patrons here are invented for this page, such as the Ninth Bell and the Lady Under the Lake Ice.
Are these names from a game or a book?
No. Names and patrons are made up, and each was searched as a page title on Wikipedia and on fan wikis of games that have warlocks. A match was cut. No game's patron list or spell name is used.
How this list was compiled: Our own list of 104 made-up full names for a warlock, written on 2026-10-02: a rare or old first name with a surname in a dark register. Most surnames are invented; the rest are rare real surnames or small English place names. Each full name was searched that day as an exact page title on English Wikipedia and on 10 fan wikis of games and stories that have warlocks (forgottenrealms.fandom.com, wowpedia.fandom.com, pathfinder.fandom.com, eberron.fandom.com, baldursgate3.fandom.com, criticalrole.fandom.com, diablo.fandom.com, elderscrolls.fandom.com, harrypotter.fandom.com, witcher.fandom.com), and against every page title of 16 fantasy fan wikis and every list on this site. 18 candidates were cut (8 a name from published fiction, or one letter from it; 10 more after each surname was searched alone in Wikipedia's text and on the fan wikis, because the surname is a place in a published game or novel, one letter from one, or a fan wiki page title), among them Zarek Nightsedge, Elowen Evenfall, Sidonie Ravenscar, Valerian Underhill, Zenobia Ravenscar, Odalys Underhill. No list of fiction is complete, so search a name before you publish it. Licence: own work

How this list was compiled: Our own list of 40 made-up beings a bargain was struck with, written on 2026-10-02. They are invented, belong to no faith and are taken from no game. Each was searched that day, with and without "the", as an exact page title on English Wikipedia and on the same fan wikis as the names. Thirteen candidates were cut: the Wind From Nowhere (a Wikipedia page title); four more that Wikipedia's text shows as the title of a published poem, song or album; two that leaned on the imagery of a faith; and six on a second reading, each too close to a line on another list.
