Tiefling Fantasy Name Generator

Tieflings began as a Planescape race in the 1990s and became a core Dungeons & Dragons option in 4th and 5th edition, but the idea of a mortal with fiendish blood is far older and shows up in countless fantasy settings under other names: hellborn, cambions, devilkin, tainted bloodlines. This list is built for writers and game masters who want tiefling-style names that aren't tied to any one rulebook.

Infernal names in the D&D tradition sound Greek and Near Eastern: Akmenos, Kairon, Damakos, Bryseis, Nemeia. That flavor comes from a real source, the goetic and biblical names that fed European demonology. Names like Azazel, Belial, Zillah, Keziah, Rizpah, and Vashti sit comfortably next to invented Infernal names because they share the same consonant textures. The Ars Goetia's demon roll (Malphas, Orobas, Stolas, Vassago) is a rich seam for ancestral or family names, since a tiefling might be named after the fiend whose pact created their bloodline.

A third tradition, virtue names, gives fiend-blooded characters a single English word as a name: Sorrow, Reverence, Nowhere, Temerity. Combined with a human surname or a court title like "of the Ashen Court," you get characters who feel rooted in a world rather than pulled from a table.
