Tiefling Name Generator
Infernal heritage and Virtue names for the outcasts of D&D 5e.
Naming Your Tiefling in D&D 5e
Tieflings are born with the mark of Asmodeus or other infernal lords, but their names define who they choose to be. Unlike Elves or Dwarves, Tiefling naming conventions are split into two distinct paths: the names of their infernal heritage and the names of their chosen path (Virtues).
Infernal Names (Abyssal Roots)
Many Tieflings born into cults or traditional families take names passed down from the Infernal tongue. These names often sound exotic, sharp, and slightly ominous. They frequently contain ‘X’, ‘K’, and ‘Z’ sounds.
- Male Examples: Akmenos, Damakos, Morthos
- Female Examples: Akta, Damaia, Orianna
Virtue Names: A Cultural Rebellion
This is what makes Tieflings unique. Many young Tieflings, seeking to escape the stigma of their bloodline, abandon their birth names. Instead, they choose a Virtue Name—a word that embodies a concept they wish to be, a sin they wish to atone for, or a destiny they hope to fulfill.
Our generator includes a massive list of these concept names, ranging from the hopeful (“Chant”, “Glory”) to the grim (“Despair”, “Torment”).
