Tiefling names, infernal heritage and all
Tiefling names carry the weight of an infernal bloodline, and in Dungeons & Dragons they come in two traditions. Some tieflings bear names from the Infernal tongue — exotic, sharp-edged, a little unsettling — while others, raised among people who distrust their heritage, take virtue names like Hope, Sorrow, or Glory and wear them like armour. This tiefling name generator focuses on the first tradition, conjuring infernal-sounding names — Akmenos, Damaia, Kallista — and gives each a single line of legend to build a character around. Whether you’re rolling a tiefling for a 5e campaign, writing one into a story, or fleshing out an NPC who deserves more than a placeholder, you get a name and a hook together. Generate as many as you like and keep the one that sounds like trouble. And if a virtue name suits your character better, borrow the myth from one of these and pair it with a word like Mercy or Ruin — the backstory still does the work.

Frequently asked questions
- How do tiefling names work in D&D?
- Tieflings often use either Infernal-derived names — exotic and harsh — or self-chosen ‘virtue names’ like Hope or Sorrow. This generator focuses on the Infernal style.
- Are these names 5e-appropriate?
- Yes. They follow the infernal naming style described for tieflings in fifth edition, and work for any edition or homebrew setting.
- Can I use a virtue name instead?
- Absolutely — take the one-line myth from any result and pair it with a virtue word like Mercy, Ruin, or Glory for that side of the tiefling tradition.
- Are these names original?
- Yes, generated fresh for your own use in games, fiction, and worldbuilding.
