Lightforged Draenei Name Generator

Lightforged Draenei are the branch of Velen's people who spent millennia aboard the Xenedar fighting the Burning Legion with the Army of the Light, and their names follow the same rules as ordinary draenei with a slightly more martial, ceremonial edge. Blizzard's draenei names lean on soft consonants (l, r, n, m, v), doubled vowels (Maraad, Hataaru, Tuulani, Baatul) and a small set of recurring endings. Male names usually close on -aan, -aad, -uul, -aar or -os (Restalaan, Maraad, Romuul, Othaar, Boros); female names close on -a, -ah, -eya, -ii or -el (Ishanah, Fareeya, Erdanii, Yrel). Apostrophes are mostly reserved for the naaru (Xe'ra, A'dal, T'uure) and the rare draenei named after them, so use them sparingly.

What separates a Lightforged from a standard draenei on paper is title. The Army of the Light is organized around Vindicators, Exarchs, Lightbinders, Sunwardens, Justicars and Grand Artificers, and NPCs like Captain Fareeya, Grand Artificer Romuul and High Exarch Turalyon are almost always introduced rank first. A player character rarely needs the rank in the name field, but it makes for a strong roleplay surname or guild note.

The list mixes canon draenei and Lightforged NPCs, original names built on the same phonetics, a set of ranked variants for RP, and the naaru names that Lightforged characters often reference in oaths.
