Tiefling Name Generator DnD 5e: virtue, last names, female

Tieflings first appeared in 1994, in the Planescape Campaign Setting boxed set. 30 years later, the 2024 Player’s Handbook split their bloodlines into three fiendish legacies. The following are some examples you can find in my generator.

Vesha

Vesha means ”beautiful” and is from Sanskrit. Diminutives that I like are Vessie and Vesh.

Malkeus

Malkeus is connected to Perseus and is meaning ”lord of ruling embers”.

Riddle

Riddle comes from the Old English rǣdels (” puzzling question” or ”advice”).

Sillia

For a thief who picks pockets at funerals.

Vigil

From Latin vigilia and means ”alert” or ” watchful.”

Rhenos

”Forgiven debts” and is from a devil line who tears up contracts.

Patience

Puritan families used Patience and tiefling players use it for a monk or a druid. More names on that theme I’ve listed in this gender neutral names that mean patience.

Lantern

Lantern is an everyday object and I recommend it for the party member who walks into dark scenarios.

Mercy

I like Mercy on a barbarian who spares every enemy that surrenders.

Brimstone

Brimstone is the archaic term for sulfur, element 16.
