Tiefling Name Generator

Infernal and virtue names for fiend-touched wanderers.

Tiefling names carry the weight of an infernal heritage, and they tend to fall into two very different camps. Some tieflings take names rooted in devilish or draconic-sounding languages, Malphas, Zariel, Nyx, Kaine, dark, elegant and a little dangerous. Others, often born among humans who distrust their fiendish blood, adopt Virtue names: single abstract words like Hope, Sorrow, Ember or Reverence, chosen as a statement of who they intend to be. Many tieflings pick their own adult name to reclaim their identity from the assumptions people make about their horns and tails. To craft one, either sculpt a smooth, ominous infernal name or choose a striking English virtue or emotion that hints at the character's inner story.
