Half-Elf Name Generator

Half-elves in D&D have no naming tradition of their own, which is exactly what makes their names interesting. The Player's Handbook says they use either human or elven conventions, and in practice most players mix them: an elven given name such as Caelynn, Theren, or Ivellios in front of a solid human surname (Amblecrown, Greycastle, Tallstag), or a plain human name like Rowan or Darvin followed by an elven family name (Galanodel, Siannodel, Nailo). Which order you pick quietly says which parent raised the character.

Elven given names lean on liquid consonants (L, R, N, V), long vowels, and endings like -iel, -wen, -ion, and -ys. Human names in the Forgotten Realms vary by region, but the Chondathan and Illuskan styles that most tables default to are short, hard-edged, and English-sounding. Half-elves who grow up rejected by both cultures sometimes take an invented name that belongs to neither, or a pointed surname such as Halfelven or Twinborn.

The list above deliberately covers all three patterns plus softer blends (Aelric Vane, Elowen Marsh) that sound at home in Pathfinder, Baldur's Gate 3, or a fantasy novel with no D&D connection at all.
