Grond Gravedigger
Grond is the name of Morgoth's warhammer from J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. It's also referred as the hammer of the underworld. During the Siege of Gondor a large battering ram was used to smash the gates, which was also named after Morgoth's hammer, thus also Grond. As a result Grond is associated with Sauron and Morgoth, people who could easily pass for being the "Big High War God". There's also a clear link with orc's (creatures similar to goblins), earth, war etc. these are all topic's closely related to goblins and hobgoblins. On top of that Grond sounds very similar to ground, which is again a reference to the earth and him digging in it.
Then Gravedigger just matches well with Grond and considering he continuously digs, it fits him. Also, as he's a slave, it's to be expected that a lot of his fellow slaves die. Those probably are used as food for the beasts, but probably some get burried. As he likes to dig and letting him dig graves, you get gravedigger.
So Grond Gravedigger
