How Goliath Names Work
Goliath names work in layers. A goliath carries a birth name from their tribe, a nickname earned through a deed or trait, and a clan name shared with their people. The birth name is formal and tribal, while the nickname is what they are really known by among allies.
Goliath Naming Conventions
Goliath naming is competitive and communal. Birth names are strong and tribal, often a few hard syllables, and nicknames are earned, not given, marking a notable achievement or quirk. Among their own, a goliath's standing is read through what they have done, so the nickname carries real weight.
