How to Create Authentic Demon Names
Demon names in fiction follow distinct phonetic rules depending on their origin — infernal or abyssal, biblical or invented.
Devils vs Demons
In D&D, devils (lawful evil) have aristocratic, Latin-rooted names like Asmodeus. Demons (chaotic evil) have harsh, guttural names like Demogorgon. The naming rule: if you can say it elegantly, it is a devil.
Rank Through Syllables
Lesser demons have short, sharp names. Greater demons get longer, more complex names. Arch-demons and princes get multi-syllabic names that carry the weight of accumulated power.
The Apostrophe Convention
Apostrophes in demon names (Graz'zt, Fraz'urb-luu) signal alien phonology — sounds that mortal tongues struggle to form. Use sparingly for maximum impact.
Fallen Angel Suffixes
The -iel and -ael suffixes (Azrael, Samael) mark angelic origin. Using them for a fallen angel creates immediate dramatic irony — the name remembers what the being once was.
