Infernal names and virtue names for D&D tieflings
Generate tiefling names that follow the D&D conventions: Infernal-sounding given names like Akmenos and Bryseis, plus the virtue names (Hope, Torment, Reverence) tieflings adopt as a statement of who they are.
About fantasy tiefling names
Tiefling names in Dungeons & Dragons follow two distinct traditions, and the Player's Handbook spells them out. The first is the Infernal given name: names like Akmenos, Damakos, Kairon and Skamos for men, or Akta, Bryseis, Damaia and Orianna for women. These lean on hard k, th and s sounds with Greek-flavored endings (-os, -is, -eia), which is why the list below also includes classical Greek names such as Deimos, Kalliope and Zosime that slot in seamlessly.
The second tradition is the virtue name. Some tieflings, tired of being judged by their horns and tail, take an ordinary word as their name to announce the ideal they live by: Hope, Reverence, Poetry, Torment, Nowhere. Nothing stops a tiefling from picking a bleak word or an ironic one, and a name like Carrion or Weary says as much about a character as a paragraph of backstory. Baldur's Gate 3 characters such as Karlach, Zevlor and Rolan show a third option: names that sound a little exotic without being devilish.
Many tieflings also carry a human surname from the family that raised them, or a self-chosen surname with an Infernal ring, which is why paired names like Damaia Kethra or Skamos Bloodhorn appear here alongside single names. Epithets (Bethira the Patient), phrases (Paid in Full) and contract words (Codicil) appear too.
How to choose fantasy tiefling names
- Decide first whether your tiefling embraces or rejects their heritage. Embracers suit Infernal names (Morthos, Nemeia); rejecters often pick a virtue name or a plain human name.
- Virtue names work best when they cut against expectation. A cheerful bard called Despair or a grim paladin called Laughter is instantly memorable.
- Combine an Infernal given name with a human surname (Lerissa Halloway) to show a tiefling raised in a mortal community.
- Keep pronunciation easy at the table. Two or three syllables with a hard consonant, like Akta or Skamos, is the sweet spot.
- For a fiendish patron or ancestor rather than a player character, reach for the classic demon and archdevil names such as Asmodeus, Zariel or Dantalion.
Frequently asked questions
How do tiefling names work in D&D 5e?
Tieflings use Infernal names inherited from their fiendish bloodline (Akmenos, Bryseis), human names from the culture that raised them, or virtue names, ordinary words like Hope or Torment chosen to represent an ideal or a quest.
Are these names good for Baldur's Gate 3 characters?
Yes. BG3 tieflings like Karlach, Zevlor, Rolan and Dammon follow the same conventions, and any Infernal or virtue name here fits the game's Sword Coast setting.
Do tieflings have last names?
Often. Some carry the surname of the human family that raised them, some take an Infernal-sounding surname, and many adventuring tieflings go by a single name only. Any of the three is lore-appropriate.
Can I use these tiefling names in my own campaign or story?
Absolutely. The names are free to use in personal and homebrew work. If you're publishing commercially, avoid specific named Wizards of the Coast characters like Karlach or Zariel.
