How to Name Your Tiefling Character
A tiefling's name is a statement of identity: embrace the infernal, reject it, or walk between worlds.
Three Naming Traditions
Infernal names acknowledge fiendish heritage (Kairon, Damaia). Virtue names forge a new identity (Hope, Torment). Human names signal assimilation. Each choice says something about your character's relationship with their bloodline.
Infernal Phonetics
Sibilant fricatives (S, Z, SH), velar plosives (K, G), and Latin-inspired diphthongs (ae, ia, os) create the signature infernal sound. Male names often end in -os, -us, -on. Female names end in -a, -is, -ia.
Virtue Names Evolve
A tiefling named Sorrow might become Hope after a campaign arc. Virtue names are chosen, not given — and they can change as the character grows. This makes them powerful roleplay tools.
Bloodline Flavor
Different archdevil bloodlines suggest different phonetic flavors. Zariel tieflings might have martial, sharp names. Glasya tieflings might use seductive, flowing sounds. Match the name to the patron's personality.
