Generate Nephilim names for half-angel characters: biblical giants and fallen Watchers from Genesis and the Book of Enoch, Hebrew-rooted angelic names, and modern half-angel names for urban fantasy, Shadowhunter-style roleplay and D&D aasimar.

About Nephilim names

The Nephilim appear in Genesis 6 as the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of men, the giants who were on the earth in those days. The Book of Enoch names their fathers, the two hundred Watchers who descended on Mount Hermon under Semyaza and Azazel: Armaros, Baraqiel, Kokabiel, Ramiel, Gadreel, Penemue and the rest, almost all ending in -el, the Hebrew word for God. Their giant children are remembered in the Book of Giants as Ohya, Hahya and Mahway, and in the Bible as Og of Bashan, Anak and his sons, and Goliath of Gath.

That gives Nephilim names two natural flavours. One is angelic: Hebrew roots plus -el, -iel, -iah or -ah (Adriel, Zerachiel, Azariah, Eliora), the pattern used for the seventy-two angels of the Shem HaMephorash and for every archangel. The other is earthy and human, because a Nephilim also has a mortal parent, which is why urban fantasy gives them a first name that sounds celestial and a surname that sounds like a neighbour.

This generator covers all of it: the scriptural and apocryphal figures, the angelic name stock, canon Shadowhunter families like Herondale and Lightwood, and hundreds of original half-angel names for novels, D&D aasimar and supernatural roleplay.

How to choose Nephilim names

  • For a classical Nephilim, choose a Hebrew root and end it in -el or -iah (Malkiel, Kenaniah); avoid Latin or Greek endings, which read as demons or saints instead.
  • Urban fantasy half-angels work best with an angelic first name and an ordinary surname: Cassiel Vance, Seraphina Vayle, Micah Ashgrave.
  • Giant-blooded Nephilim can take names from the biblical Anakim and Rephaim (Anak, Ahiman, Talmai, Og) for a heavier, older sound.
  • Do not name your character after one of the four archangels unless the story is about that; Uriel or Raphael as a surname or middle name keeps the lineage without the baggage.
  • For a fallen or hidden Nephilim, use a Watcher's name as the father's and build the child's from a fragment of it, the way Shemhazai's echo survives in Shamsiel.

Frequently asked questions

What does the word Nephilim mean?

It is usually derived from the Hebrew root naphal, to fall, so the fallen ones, though the Septuagint simply translated it as giants. Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33 describe them as mighty men of renown and as giants descended from Anak.

What are the names of the Nephilim in the Bible and Enoch?

The Bible names Anak and his sons Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, Og king of Bashan, and the Philistine giants Goliath, Ishbi-benob, Saph and Lahmi. The Book of Enoch names the Watcher fathers, including Semyaza, Azazel, Armaros, Baraqiel, Kokabiel, Ramiel, Gadreel and Penemue, and the Book of Giants names their sons Ohya, Hahya and Mahway.

Why do Nephilim and angel names end in -el?

El is a Hebrew word for God, so Micha-el means who is like God and Rapha-el means God heals. Names ending in -iah or -yah use the divine name the same way, which is why Azariah and Zechariah feel angelic too.

Can I use these for a D&D aasimar or a Shadowhunters OC?

Yes. The single angelic names suit aasimar and celestial warlocks, and the first-and-surname entries fit Shadowhunter-style Nephilim. Canon names such as Jace Herondale belong to their characters, so for an original character choose one of the many invented combinations.
