About D&D tiefling names
Tieflings in D&D 5e have three distinct naming traditions, and knowing which one your character uses says a lot about their upbringing. The first is Infernal: names derived from the language of the Nine Hells such as Akmenos, Damakos, Kairon, Mordai and Skamos for males and Akta, Bryseis, Damaia, Kallista, Nemeia and Orianna for females, all listed in the Player's Handbook. They favour k, s, th and open vowels and often end in -os, -ai or -ia.
The second tradition is the virtue name. Some young tieflings, the PHB explains, choose a name that signifies a virtue or a concept they hope to embody, and the canonical examples are Art, Carrion, Chant, Creed, Despair, Excellence, Fear, Glory, Hope, Ideal, Music, Nowhere, Open, Poetry, Quest, Random, Reverence, Sorrow, Temerity, Torment and Weary. Note how many of these are bleak or odd; a tiefling named Nowhere or Weary is a walking statement about how the world has treated them.
The third tradition is simply human. Tieflings born to human parents in Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter often carry ordinary names like Adrian Vane or Elena Cross, and Baldur's Gate 3 characters such as Karlach, Zevlor, Rolan and Dammon show how mixed the conventions can be. Add a human surname, a horn or tail byname or a bloodline epithet and the name is complete.
How to choose D&D tiefling names
- Choose the tradition first: Infernal for tieflings proud of their heritage, virtue names for those defining themselves against it, human names for those hiding it.
- Virtue names hit hardest when they are slightly wrong for the character: a cheerful rogue called Sorrow, a coward called Temerity.
- Infernal given names pair well with plain human surnames (Damaia Redglove, Kairon Sevenlocks); the contrast reflects a tiefling's split existence.
- Avoid outright demonic names like Lucifer or Satan; 5e tieflings descend from Asmodeus and the Nine Hells, so Infernal-sounding but original names read better.
- If your tiefling changed their name, note both; a childhood name of Reverence and a chosen name of Havoc is a whole character arc.
Frequently asked questions
What are the official tiefling names in the D&D Player's Handbook?
Male Infernal names: Akmenos, Amnon, Barakas, Damakos, Ekemon, Iados, Kairon, Leucis, Melech, Mordai, Morthos, Pelaios, Skamos, Therai. Female Infernal names: Akta, Anakis, Bryseis, Criella, Damaia, Ea, Kallista, Lerissa, Makaria, Nemeia, Orianna, Phelaia, Rieta. Virtue names include Art, Carrion, Chant, Creed, Despair, Excellence, Fear, Glory, Hope, Ideal, Music, Nowhere, Open, Poetry, Quest, Random, Reverence, Sorrow, Temerity, Torment and Weary.
What is a tiefling virtue name?
A name chosen by a young tiefling to represent a concept or ideal they want to embody, sometimes ironically. The PHB examples range from Hope and Glory to Carrion, Despair and Nowhere, and players often invent new ones like Solace, Penance or Requiem.
Do tieflings have last names?
Not by tradition, but many adopt human family names from the community that raised them, or an epithet tied to their bloodline (of Bael's Line). Baldur's Gate 3 tieflings like Zevlor and Rolan go by single names.
Are the names here suitable for Baldur's Gate 3 and Pathfinder tieflings?
Yes. BG3 uses 5e's Forgotten Realms conventions exactly, and Pathfinder tieflings share the same Infernal-influenced style, though Golarion tieflings often add regional surnames.
