About the Elf Name Generator
This free elf name generator helps writers, tabletop RPG players, and game developers create authentic elvish names. The random mode draws from a database of 3,203 hand-curated elf names — 1,176 female, 1,286 male, and 741 gender-neutral — inspired by Tolkien, D&D, and high fantasy traditions.
The AI mode uses a language model to craft a unique elf name tailored to your character, including etymology and lore. Describe your character's personality, appearance, or backstory and receive names like Aelindra or Caelthorn.
