How tiefling names work
Tieflings name themselves three ways, and your generator should know all of them. Infernal names come from the bloodline: sibilant, slightly unsettling, with hard k and soft s together, like Akmenos, Damaia, Kairon, Nemeia. Some tieflings keep the human name their parents gave them to blend in.
The third kind is the virtue name. Young tieflings who reject both heritage and hiding pick a word that stands for what they want to be: Sorrow, Reverence, Torment, Hope, Glory, Despair. A virtue name on a tiefling is a declaration, and it is often the most interesting of the three for a player character.
This generator mixes the three styles. Add "infernal only" or "virtue names" to the flavour box to get one kind, or leave it blank for a spread. Meanings explain which tradition each name comes from.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tiefling virtue name?
A single abstract word, such as Sorrow or Glory, that a tiefling chooses to define who they intend to be. The Player's Handbook lists several; this generator invents new ones.
Are infernal names gendered?
Loosely. Names ending in -ia or -eia lean feminine and -os or -on lean masculine, but tieflings do not police it. Use the gender selector if you want a lean.
Can a tiefling have a human name?
Yes, and many do. Leave the flavour blank and about a third of results will be human names, often paired with an infernal surname.
