Originally, clowns were known for their theatrics at the circus. They had different clown names according to their silly stunts and acrobatics. But nowadays, people view clowns as more than just comedians in the circus.
Clowns get featured in movies, sometimes as funny characters in family-friendly shows, and in horror films where clowns are nightmarish figures you would never wish even your worst enemy to meet.
Clowns have also been featured in several games. To find an excellent name for your favourite clown characters, especially in games, I have compiled a vast list of clown names you can pick from.
