Tiefling Name Generator
Born with the blood of devils coursing through their veins, tieflings carry the weight of their infernal heritage in every step — and their names reflect that duality between darkness and defiance. Our free tiefling name generator creates authentic tiefling names from both great traditions: ancient infernal names passed down through bloodlines touched by Asmodeus, and the bold virtue names that tieflings choose for themselves to define who they are rather than what they came from. Infernal tiefling names like Akmenos, Barakas, and Bryseis carry the dark grandeur of the Nine Hells, with Latin and ancient Greek roots that suggest power and ceremony. Virtue names — Hope, Torment, Vex, Carrion — are acts of self-determination, a tiefling's declaration of identity in a world that judges them on sight. Whether you're playing a tiefling warlock embracing their heritage, a tiefling paladin proving their worth through righteous deeds, or a tiefling rogue who prefers to keep their past mysterious, find your name here.

About Tiefling Names
Tiefling naming sits at a crossroads between inherited identity and chosen self. Infernal names, passed down through generations, connect tieflings to their diabolical bloodline. Virtue names, chosen at adolescence or adulthood, represent a tiefling's decision to write their own story. Both name types carry enormous weight — one is a mark of lineage, the other a manifesto.
Male Tiefling Names
Male infernal tiefling names draw from diabolic tradition, featuring hard consonants and dramatic syllables — Akmenos, Amnon, Barakas, Damakos, Iados, Kairon. They sound ancient and powerful, suited to creatures touched by the Nine Hells. These names carry gravitas even when attached to a tiefling who spends most of their time eating tavern stew.
Female Tiefling Names
Female tiefling names share the infernal grandeur of male names while often carrying a slightly more melodic quality — Akta, Bryseis, Criella, Damaia, Kallista, Lerissa, Orianna. Many draw from ancient Greek sources filtered through a hellish lens, giving them an almost mythological resonance that suits the tiefling's complicated place in the world.
Frequently Asked Questions
Two traditions: infernal names from diabolical lineage (Akmenos, Bryseis), and virtue names tieflings choose themselves (Hope, Torment, Vex). Both reflect the tiefling's complicated identity.
Many do — especially virtue names. Choosing a name like "Hope" or "Defiance" is a declaration of who you are, not what your bloodline says you should be. It's one of the most compelling aspects of tiefling roleplay.
Strong virtue names: Art, Creed, Despair, Excellence, Fear, Glory, Hope, Music, Poetry, Quest, Reverence, Sorrow, Torment, Temerity, Vex. Pick one that defines your character's outlook — ironic or sincere.
Not inherently. Tieflings have infernal heritage but no alignment requirement. Many players enjoy the dramatic tension of a tiefling fighting against how others perceive them — paladin tieflings are a classic choice for exactly this reason.
Standard tieflings descend from Asmodeus. Variant bloodlines (Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes) allow descent from other archdevils — each grants different abilities and may inspire different naming conventions.
