Female githyanki names for D&D and Baldur's Gate 3, with hard consonants, apostrophes and endings in -th, -yl and -zel, some with ranks such as Kith'rak and Sarth. Try Kethra, Nae'ryss, K'lessa or Gish Zaryne.

About female githyanki names

Githyanki names sound like a drawn blade: hard consonants, doubled letters, an apostrophe that snaps the word in two. Nothing in the spelling marks a name as male or female, and ranks are the same for both, so a female githyanki is a Sarth or a Kith'rak like anyone else. The Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes still prints two lists, and its female one (Aaryl, B'noor, Fenelzi'ir, Jen'lig, Pah'zel, Quorstyl, Sirruth, Vaira, Yessune, Zar'ryth) shows the range: doubled vowels, a lone consonant cut off by an apostrophe, and endings in -yl, -ig, -zel, -uth and -yth. Lae'zel of Baldur's Gate 3 fits the same mold.

This page follows that list. It keeps those few well-known names as anchors, and the rest are new names on the same sounds: plain ones like Thessyk, long-vowel ones like Veirune, split ones like Nae'ryss and K'lessa, and longer ones like Morvezi'ir. About a fifth carry a rank or role, from Sarth and Kith'rak to Ghustil, Gish, Varsh and Knight. Others carry a deed name such as Yrleth Ghaik-Slayer, ghaik being the githyanki word for mind flayers.

The broader githyanki pages mix genders. Everything here is written for a female warrior, knight, gish or creche elder.

How to choose female githyanki names

Say it aloud before you commit. A githyanki name gets barked across a battlefield, so a name your table can pronounce, like Kethra or Zen'dryl, will serve you better than one with three apostrophes.
Read the apostrophe as a short catch in the voice, not as decoration. Lae'zel is two beats with a stop between them, and Shae'luth or Mah'zeth work the same way.
Let the rank follow the character. A new warrior has no title, a squad leader is a Sarth, and Kith'rak or Supreme Commander belongs to a veteran, so write the bare name on the sheet and add the rank as she earns it.
Use a deed name as a backstory hook. Silver-Sworn, Ghaik-Slayer or of Tu'narath each say where she has been, and a DM can build a scene on that.
In Baldur's Gate 3 the character creator only needs one name, so a short single name such as Vresska or Yl'vane fits best there.

Frequently asked questions

Do githyanki have different names for males and females?

Not by any rule of spelling. Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes prints separate male and female lists, but both use the same hard consonants, apostrophes and endings, and ranks such as Sarth and Kith'rak are shared. This page gathers names in the mold of the female list, such as Kethra, Veirune and Nae'ryss.

What are good female githyanki names?

Short and sharp works best: Thessyk, Vresska, Zen'dryl, K'lessa or Shae'luth. For a veteran, add a rank or a deed, as in Kith'rak Vessra, Gish Zaryne or Azryl Silver-Sworn.

What do titles like Kith'rak and Ghustil mean?

They are ranks and roles, not parts of the name. A sarth leads a squad of about ten warriors and a kith'rak commands several squads, while Baldur's Gate 3 adds creche roles such as ghustil for the healer and varsh and sa'varsh for those who raise and train the young. A gish fights with both blade and spells.

Can I use these names in Baldur's Gate 3 or my own campaign?

Yes. Apart from a handful of well-known examples such as Lae'zel and Yessune, these are new names written in the style of the setting, not a roll of characters from the books or the game. Use them for player characters, NPCs or a whole raiding party.
