Harengon are the rabbitfolk of D&D, born in the Feywild and full of quick feet and good luck. Their names sound light and playful. They use soft p, b, f and l sounds, short bouncy syllables, and family names drawn from meadows, burrows and wild herbs.

What harengon names sound like
Rabbitfolk names are short and springy. Most have one or two syllables in the first name, with sounds you can say with a smile, like Pip, Bix or Clo. Endings such as -kin, -by, -ble and -wick add a cosy, country feel that matches a creature who lives in burrows and hedgerows.
Female names here lean on flower and herb sounds, such as Fern, Rue, Hazel and Juni. Male names lean on round, friendly sounds like Tum, Hob and Bram. Both mix well with the family names, so Pipkin Cloverhop and Fernie Briarfoot sound like neighbours.
Family names from the Feywild meadow
Harengon come from the Feywild, a bright and wild realm of fairies and talking animals. Their family names often join a plant or place with something a rabbit does or has. That is why you see names like Thistlewhisk, Mossleap and Barleyburrow.
These names are also great clues for the table. A Puddlehop family might live near a pond. A Thistledash clan might be known for speed and prickly tempers.
- Plant words: clover, briar, thistle, barley, mint.
- Rabbit words: hop, ear, tail, leap, burrow.
- Mix one of each for a classic harengon surname.
Names that fit a lucky, quick character
In fifth edition, harengon have Lucky Footwork and Rabbit Hop, so they dodge danger and leap away. A playful name helps players feel that spirit at once. Pick a short nickname for fast talk in combat, and save the full family name for when your rabbitfolk introduces itself to a noble or a dragon.
