About D&D tabaxi names

Tabaxi names in Dungeons & Dragons are unlike any other race's. According to Volo's Guide to Monsters, a tabaxi has a single, evocative name that is a phrase drawn from clan tradition, omens seen at birth, or the surrounding land: Cloud on the Mountaintop, Five Timber, Jade Shoe, Left-Handed Hummingbird, Seven Thundercloud, Skirt of Snakes, Smoking Mirror. In daily life the tabaxi goes by a short nickname pulled from that phrase, so Cloud on the Mountaintop is simply Cloud, and Left-Handed Hummingbird is Bird. Names are not gendered.

The flavor is Mesoamerican, matching the tabaxi homeland of Maztica: numbers, jungle animals, jade, obsidian, feathers, and weather all recur. A strong tabaxi name has a concrete image (Turquoise Beneath the Falls), a slightly unexpected detail (Beetle in the Cornmeal), or a small story (Lightning That Struck Twice). Two-word nature names like Silent Paw or River Song are common in homebrew, but the longer omen phrases are what make a tabaxi sound like a tabaxi.

Clans are named for geographic features rather than families, so a tabaxi introducing themselves formally might say Ember of the Cloud Forest Clan. Most of the list gives the full name with the nickname in parentheses. It also holds number names in the mold of Five Timber and omens of stealth, curiosity, seafaring, feline habits, and festivals.

How to choose D&D tabaxi names

  • Use the full omen phrase on your character sheet and when introducing yourself to strangers, but have everyone at the table call you by the one-word nickname.
  • Build a name from a concrete image plus a twist: pick a jungle animal, weather event, or object (jade, obsidian, feather, drum), then add a detail like a number or a location.
  • Choose the nickname deliberately; Left-Handed Hummingbird could be Bird or Hummingbird, and which one the character prefers says something about them.
  • For a tabaxi's clan, name it after a landscape feature (the Broken Ridge Clan, the Salt Marsh Clan) rather than a family or ancestor.
  • Tabaxi names are not gendered, so pick purely on sound and imagery.

Frequently asked questions

How do tabaxi names work in D&D 5e?

Each tabaxi has one long, descriptive name based on clan tradition and birth omens, such as Seven Thundercloud or Skirt of Snakes, and goes by a short nickname taken from it (Thunder, Snake). Clans are named after geographic features rather than family lines.

What are the official tabaxi example names?

Volo's Guide to Monsters lists Cloud on the Mountaintop (Cloud), Five Timber (Timber), Jade Shoe (Jade), Left-Handed Hummingbird (Bird), Seven Thundercloud (Thunder), Skirt of Snakes (Snake), and Smoking Mirror (Smoke). Smoking Mirror is also a translation of the Aztec god Tezcatlipoca, which hints at the intended flavor.

Are tabaxi names gendered?

No. Tabaxi names describe omens, places, and objects, so any name works for any tabaxi. Choose based on the image and the nickname you want people to use.

Can I use a simple two-word name like Silent Paw for a tabaxi?

Yes, many players do, and it fits the descriptive spirit. For a more lore-accurate feel, extend it into a phrase and pick a nickname, for example Silent Paw on the Temple Step, called Paw.
