Dwarf Clan Names
Dwarf clans are named in a similar manner to dwarven bynames. Often, a clan is named after its leader or founder, but the clan may achieve its own fame and gain a title relevant to their accomplishment. They may also be named after their homeland: their hold, a landmark, or other regional feature; or something historical like a famous battle they won.

Dwarven Hold Names
Dwarven communties, called Holds, like their clans, can be named after its founder or leader. Since they are long-lasting, though, and can persist longer than generations of even the long-lived dwarves, they are more likely to be named after other features such as its industry (a forge), or where it is located (the mountain it is built into).
