Whether you are starting a new campaign in Baldur’s Gate 3, rolling up a charismatic warlock for your weekend D&D 5e session, or writing a dark fantasy novel, Tieflings are a fan-favorite race. Carrying the bloodline of the Lower Planes, their names are often as striking, mysterious, and dramatic as their fiendish appearances.
Skip staring at the character creation screen! Our interactive tiefling name generator provides hundreds of lore-accurate, infernal, and conceptual combinations to help you christen your next horned hero or anti-hero in seconds.
Choosing a Name for Your Fiendish Heritage
In Dungeons & Dragons lore, Tieflings generally fall into specific naming conventions. We designed this database to output names that fit perfectly into the official Forgotten Realms setting:
- Virtue & Concept Names: Many younger Tieflings abandon their infernal names and adopt words that signify a concept, goal, or destiny. Use this tool to find striking Virtue names like Creed, Sorrow, Reverence, and Despair.
- Infernal Male Names: Rooted in the Abyssal and Infernal languages, traditional male names are harsh and sharp. Spin the wheel to generate classic titles like Damakos, Akmenos, and Mordai.
- Infernal Female Names: If you need a more melodic but equally exotic alias, this tool generates beautiful female infernal names like Kallista, Bryseis, and Orianna.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Tiefling Virtue name?
A Virtue name is a concept or ideal that a Tiefling chooses for themselves to define their place in the world. Because Tieflings often face prejudice due to their demonic appearance, they adopt names like Hope, Wrath, Temerity, or Silence to either defy the world’s expectations or lean into them.
Can I use this for Baldur’s Gate 3?
Absolutely! Baldur’s Gate 3 is based entirely on the Dungeons & Dragons 5e ruleset and lore. The names generated here will fit perfectly into the world of Faerûn, whether you are romancing Karlach or exploring the Underdark.
