Clan plus personal, clan first, all parts documented. Names bold, glosses italic, tradition column flat. 84 full names, each pairing a documented clan with a table-style personal. Nothing between the rows:

What do dragonborn names mean?
The clan carries the meaning; the personal name carries the sound. Published tables give no per-morpheme glosses for the personal names, so an honest page does not invent them. What each row can promise: both parts documented, the pairing labeled. Twelve spotlights, receipts attached:

How do dragonborn names work?
Table-style opener, optional link, table-style close, clan in front. Bal + a + sar = Balasar; Kepeshkmolik Balasar is the full formal name. That is the whole grammar. The compound-name lesson the race grid shares lives on the how elvish names work page.
What are dragonborn last names?

Clan first, person second
The order is the oldest signal in the name. A stranger reading Kepeshkmolik Balasar learns the honor group before the person, and that is the culture speaking: the clan answers for you before you say a word. Published usage keeps clan-first as the formal styling, and everyday speech relaxes to person plus clan, same as human custom. When you pick from the table above, pick the order deliberately. Formal scenes, first meetings, oaths: clan first. Kitchen tables and old friends: person first, or personal name alone. The receipt travels with either order, so the reader always knows which part is the vouching.

Dragonborn name questions, answered
What is a rare dragonborn name?
A long clan form paired with a short personal. Five documented clans run long, and the master table carries all five: Clethtinthiallor, Drachedandron, Fenkenkabonon, Gronnsjarr, Linxakasendalor. Paired with a clipped personal like Biri, the name turns heads twice. The receipt stays the same shape: clan first, person second, both parts from published tables.
Can dragonborn names be short?
Yes: the personal name alone is a complete informal name. Balasar without Kepeshkmolik is how friends say it. The clan is not dropped, just left unsaid, and the full form returns the moment ceremony does.
What are dragonborn last names?
The clan name, and it is family plus honor group in one. Members can be unrelated by blood and still hold the same clan, per the published lore. Seventeen documented clans sit in the generator; the tool pairs any of them with any personal build.
Where the meanings come from.Personal-name parts and every clan name trace to published fifth-edition tables and published Forgotten Realms fiction. The tables publish no per-morpheme glosses, so rows cite sources instead of inventing translations. Where every name's receipt comes from →
