Sea Elf Name Generator

Sea elves are still elves, so their names follow the same rules as their surface cousins: open vowels, soft consonants like l, n, r, s and th, and melodic endings such as -iel, -ion, -wen, -ael and -ys. In D&D 5e they are the Alu'Tel'Quessir of the Forgotten Realms, a subrace from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes and Monsters of the Multiverse, living in undersea cities along the Sword Coast and the Sea of Fallen Stars. What sets a sea elf name apart is its water-worn feel: longer liquid syllables, more ae, ia and oe clusters, and far fewer hard k and g sounds than a drow or wood elf name would carry.

Like all 5e elves, sea elves use a personal name plus a family or house name. Elven house names are often given in translation (Amakiir becomes Gemflower), and for sea elves the translated forms naturally lean on tides, pearls, coral, kelp and currents. This list mixes three registers: full names with untranslated elvish houses (Nerion Thalorien, Ilyana Selathis), full names with translated surnames (Sael Pearlsong, Maerion Deepcurrent), and standalone first names and house names for your own pairings.

Use translated surnames for sea elves who trade in coastal ports, and keep the elvish houses for nobles, priests of Deep Sashelas and characters from isolated deep-ocean enclaves.
