About random demon names
Nearly every culture has demons, and their names carry the sound of the language that feared them. This list pulls from many of them so you can find one that fits your setting instead of the same dozen Christian devils. The Ars Goetia's 72 spirits (Paimon, Stolas, Naberius, Gremory) are Latinised and formal. Mesopotamian demons (Lamashtu, Pazuzu, Gallu, Rabisu) are older and harsher, and Lilith descends from the Akkadian lilitu. Persian tradition gives Ahriman, Aeshma, and the three-headed dragon Azi Dahaka; Islamic tradition gives the jinn classes marid, ifrit, and ghul, plus Iblis and Shaitan.
Further east, Hindu and Buddhist texts describe asuras and rakshasas such as Ravana, Mahishasura, and Mara the tempter, while Japanese folklore has the oni Shuten-doji and Ibaraki-doji, the fox-demon Tamamo-no-Mae, and hungry ghosts (gaki). Southeast Asia contributes Rangda, the aswang, and the manananggal; Slavic Europe has the chort, Likho, and Baba Yaga; the Alps have Krampus and Perchta; Greece and Etruria have Empusa, Lamia, Charun, and Vanth.
The list reaches Sami, Andean, Arctic, and Pacific spirits (Ruohtta, Kharisiri, Tupilaq, Masalai). The invented names follow the phonetics that read as demonic in English fantasy: harsh consonant clusters, hyphenated lineages, and softer sibilant forms (Sszaryn, Vhorlissa). If you borrow a figure from a living tradition, learn what it is first; the story usually gets better for it.
How to choose random demon names
- Match the demon's origin to your world's culture: a Goetic name for a European-flavoured setting, an oni or asura name for East or South Asian inspiration, a jinn class for desert or Arabian settings.
- Many world demons are types rather than individuals (oni, ifrit, aswang, incubus); use the type as a species name and give the individual a personal name on top.
- Female demons in myth are often tied to childbirth, night, and seduction (Lilith, Lamashtu, Empusa, Rangda), which suggests specific powers rather than generic evil.
- For an unfamiliar-sounding original demon, borrow the phonetics of a real tradition rather than a franchise; it will feel less derivative.
- Shorter names are easier to chant, curse, and remember at the table; three syllables is the sweet spot for a demon players will actually say.
Frequently asked questions
Where do demon names come from?
Most Western demon names come from the Bible, Jewish folklore, and grimoires such as the Ars Goetia and Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, often corrupted from older Canaanite, Mesopotamian, and Persian gods. Other cultures have their own: oni in Japan, asuras and rakshasas in India, jinn in the Islamic world, and aswang in the Philippines.
Are these real demon names from mythology?
Most of the list is drawn from real traditions (Goetic, Mesopotamian, Persian, Islamic, Hindu, Japanese, Slavic, Filipino, and Greek, among others). About one name in seven is an original name built to sound demonic in English fantasy; those are not marked, and the entries were not checked against sources, so look a figure up before you rely on it.
What are some female demon names?
Lilith, Naamah, Agrat bat Mahlat, and Eisheth Zenunim from Jewish tradition; Lamashtu and Ardat-Lili from Mesopotamia; Empusa, Lamia, Mormo, and Gello from Greece; Rangda from Bali; Tamamo-no-Mae, Nure-onna, and Yamauba from Japan; and Kikimora and Baba Yaga from Slavic folklore.
Can I use these names commercially?
Mythological and grimoire names are centuries old and nobody owns them. The invented names were not checked against trademarks or existing characters, so search a name before you build a commercial project on it.
