Generate catfolk names in three authentic styles: short vowel-rich Pathfinder Amurrun names (Zeda, Otli, Kepri), evocative D&D tabaxi phrase-names (Sky Under Rain), and clan-style feline surnames. Built for Pathfinder 2e, D&D 5e, and any campaign with a feline character.

About catfolk names

Catfolk turn up under several names across tabletop games. Pathfinder calls them Amurrun and gives them short, vowel-rich names that roll off the tongue: the core rulebook samples include Zeda, Otli, Kepri, Isli, and Odai. Dungeons & Dragons has the tabaxi, whose names are evocative phrases drawn from clan tradition and prophecy, such as Cloud on the Mountaintop or Seven Thundercloud, usually shortened to a nickname like Cloud or Seven in daily use. Elder Scrolls Khajiit and other feline peoples add prefixes and honorifics on top of that.

A good catfolk name should sound like it belongs to a person, not a pet. Pathfinder-style names work best at two syllables with open vowels and soft consonants (k, r, sh, l), which is why Ruoli or Tashi reads as catfolk while Fluffy does not. Tabaxi phrase-names should describe a moment or an image the clan elders would have found meaningful, and they gain personality when the character chooses an unexpected short form.

This list mixes all three approaches, plus feline-flavored surnames and clan suffixes, so you can build a name for a Pathfinder Amurrun rogue, a 5e tabaxi bard, or a homebrew feline setting.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Pathfinder Amurrun names should be short and open: two syllables, ending in a vowel or a light -i or -u sound.
  • For a tabaxi, pick a phrase-name and then decide the nickname the character actually answers to; the gap between the two says a lot about them.
  • Descriptive surnames like Swiftpaw or Duskwhisker are common in feline settings but can feel like Warrior Cats; use them sparingly for PCs and freely for NPC clan-mates.
  • Add a clan reference ('of the Longtail Pride') for a character whose backstory centers on where they came from, or a deed-name ('Hunts-the-Marsh') for one defined by what they do.
  • Avoid puns and pet names (Whiskers, Mittens) unless the campaign is deliberately comedic; catfolk are usually written as proud and curious, not cute.

Frequently asked questions

What are catfolk names like in Pathfinder?

Pathfinder's Amurrun catfolk use short, melodic names with lots of vowels and soft consonants. The official sample names include Alii, Aziti, Bahni, Cheba, Dailu, Isli, Kepri, Odai, Otli, and Zeda, and most original names in that style are two syllables.

How are tabaxi names different from catfolk names?

D&D tabaxi receive a full phrase-name from their clan, such as Sky Under Rain or Cloud on the Mountaintop, and go by a one-word nickname. Pathfinder catfolk simply have short personal names. Both styles are included here.

Do catfolk have last names or clan names?

It varies by setting. Pathfinder Amurrun rarely use surnames but may reference their clan; tabaxi belong to named clans; homebrew settings often use descriptive surnames like Nightstripe. Pick whichever fits your table's lore.

Can I use these names for a Khajiit or other feline character?

Yes, though Khajiit traditionally add prefixes like J', Ra', or Dro' to indicate age and status. Any of the short personal names here works as a Khajiit base name once you add the appropriate prefix.
