Two naming traditions

Tieflings straddle two naming worlds. Some carry infernal names handed down through their bloodline: hard, ancient-sounding words like Zarith or Drazik. Others, shaped by how the world treats them, choose a virtue name in the common tongue: a single evocative word like Patience, Sorrow or Oath that becomes a statement about who they intend to be.

Virtue names

Virtue names are one of the most distinctive things about tieflings. They can be aspirational (Hope, Mercy, Justice) or defiant (Malice, Bane, Silence). A tiefling raised in hardship might name themselves after the thing they refuse to become, or the thing they have decided to embrace.

How this name generator works

Each roll asks an AI for ten original names in this style, written to fit your description if you give one, with what each name means or evokes, how to say it, and who it suits. Invented names get the image they call up rather than a made-up etymology; real names get their commonly cited meaning. The lists above were written the same way and checked by hand, and names borrowed from famous books, games and anime were removed. Need a story to go with the name? The backstory generator writes one, and our 160 OC ideas are a place to start.

Tiefling Name Generator FAQ

Virtue names are single evocative words in the common tongue, like Hope, Sorrow, Patience or Oath, that many tieflings choose for themselves as a statement of identity. They can be aspirational or defiant, and they sit alongside more traditional infernal names.

Tiefling warlocks work well with a dark infernal name like Zarkul, or a defiant virtue name like Malice that hints at the pact they made. Our tiefling warlock name generator is tuned for exactly that pairing.
