Ashlander Name Generator
Nomad names from the ash wastes of Morrowind
Generate Ashlander names in the style of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: given names like Shibbunat and Abinammu, hyphenated names like Kil-Surran, full names with long family names like Gannadur Sabbanisour, and ranked names like Ashkhan Tural and Wise Woman Maela.
About Ashlander names
The Ashlanders are the nomadic Dunmer of Vvardenfell in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, herders and hunters who keep to ancestor worship and want nothing to do with the Great Houses or the Tribunal Temple. Their names set them apart at once. Where a House Dunmer is an Athyn Sarethi or a Teldryn Sero, an Ashlander is a Kaushad, a Nibani Maesa or a Sul-Matuul, with doubled consonants and long rolling endings that recall the names of ancient Mesopotamia.
Three shapes cover most of them. Single given names run from short (Shen, Zabi, Dakun) to four syllables (Abinammu, Esurannit). Hyphenated names join a short first element to a second, as Han-Ammu does; this list adds names such as Kil-Surran and Zenna-Tulli. Family names are the longest part, in the manner of Assurnabitashpi and Zainsubani, and follow the given name: Gannadur Sabbanisour, Kudani Sunnishara.
Rank and tribe go around the name. An Ashkhan leads a tribe, a Gulakhan is one of its champions, and a wise woman keeps its lore and prophecies, so the list includes entries like Ashkhan Tural and Wise Woman Maela along with bynames for the Urshilaku, Ahemmusa, Zainab and Erabenimsun. Apart from a few characters from the games, the names are fan-made in the same style.
How to choose Ashlander names
- Choose the tribe before the name. The Urshilaku keep the old prophecies in the northern Ashlands, the Zainab and Ahemmusa live in the Grazelands, and the Erabenimsun hold the harsh country of Molag Amur, and each suggests a different character.
- Use one title per character. A tribe has a single Ashkhan and only a few Gulakhans, so a plain name such as Dunni or Nasur suits most hunters, herders and scouts.
- Pair a short given name with a long family name, or the reverse. Dibbal Salmashipal and Tassurib Sobbin both read well; two five-syllable names in a row are hard to say.
- Say the doubled consonants. Names like Labbashir and Sellamsi are meant to be spoken with a slight hold on the double letter, which is much of what makes them sound Ashlander.
- An Ashlander who leaves the camps keeps the name. A trader in Ald'ruhn or a mercenary abroad can carry a tribal name as a mark of where they come from.
Frequently asked questions
How do Ashlander names differ from other Dunmer names?
House Dunmer names are short and clipped, such as Athyn Sarethi or Teldryn Sero. Ashlander names use a different sound with doubled consonants and long endings, for example Zakkimar, Ennummu, Yan-Tessur and Dursat Addamushpi from this list. Hyphenated given names and very long family names are the two clearest markers.
What do Ashkhan and Gulakhan mean?
They are ranks inside a tribe. The Ashkhan is the chief and the Gulakhans are the champions who stand beside him, while the wise woman advises the tribe and keeps its prophecies. In the list the rank comes first, as in Ashkhan Sul-Dannur, Gulakhan Dabbiran and Wise Woman Rawit.
Are these names taken from the games?
A small share are characters from Morrowind, such as Kaushad, Zabamund, Sul-Matuul and Nibani Maesa, kept as reference points for the style. The rest are fan-made names built on the same sounds and shapes, and they should not be read as lore.
Can I use these names in The Elder Scrolls Online?
Yes. Ashlander tribes appear in The Elder Scrolls Online as well, and a name like Missun-Dal or Zabani Akkirasaddas fits a Dark Elf character with a nomad background. Check the game's own rules for length and characters before you settle on one.
