Demon name generator

Names and titles for demons, devils, fae nobles, fairies, named monsters and undead lords. Every name comes with a title or a line about what makes it dangerous. Made instantly in your browser, so roll as many as you like.

Free and unlimited. Names are made on your device, no sign-up.

How to use it

The title does the work

A demon called Belgumog is a name; Belgumog, Prince of Ash is a threat. Use the title when the players first hear of it, and the name when they finally meet it.

Make the name a clue

In many stories a demon or fae can be bound by its true name. Let the players find it in pieces, and the name becomes a quest.

Demons and devils are different

In D&D, demons are chaos and hunger, devils are law and contracts. Choose the kind that matches how the villain behaves.

Demon and monster names by kind

What makes each kind of name work, with examples. Use the generator above for fresh ones.

Demon names

Harsh, guttural sounds with z, x, th and g, and a title that names what the demon feeds on: the Hungering Prince, Lord of Broken Oaths.

  • Zarmozul (the Hungering Choir)
  • Azxazul (Eater of Red Rain)
  • Nagxaoth (the Laughing Duchess)
  • Mormon (the Whispering Swarm)
  • Baelothar (the Many-Mouthed Maw)

Devil names

Devils sound older and more formal than demons, and their titles read like offices in a bureaucracy: Notary of Iron Contracts, Duke of Unpaid Debts.

  • Quoranor (Baroness of Small Print)
  • Ulithar (Magistrate of Unpaid Debts)
  • Maloriel (Baroness of Small Print)
  • Asmethra (Notary of Small Print)
  • Disimon (Baroness of Iron Contracts)

Fae (court noble) names

Fae nobles have lilting names and courtly titles. In folklore a fae's true name has power, so the name they give is rarely the whole one.

  • Brilosora (Herald of the Mushroom Ring)
  • Brilabelle (Lady of the Last Frost)
  • Celmibelle (Queen of Unkept Promises)
  • Peladrel (the Winter Thief)
  • Bririquill (Herald of the Mushroom Ring)

Fairy or pixie names

Small fey get small names built from flowers, moths and dew, and a habit that makes them trouble.

  • Bluebellblossom (grants small wishes with large catches)
  • Acorndrop (steals buttons and leaves riddles)
  • Frostbutton (will do anything for a sugar cube)
  • Nettleglimmer (guards a mushroom ring and takes bribes in honey)
  • Honeytwig (keeps a ledger of every insult)

Monster names

A named monster is known by its deeds or the place it haunts: the Drowned Thing of Dunley, Torghul the Night Crawler.

  • Grozhal the Old Hunger (only hunts on nights with no moon)
  • Tormok the Mountain-Breaker (was once the town's protector)
  • Skmox the Drowned (guards a hoard nobody has seen)
  • Molgath the Lantern-Eater (was here before the town and will be after)
  • The Pale Crawler of Eldermere (carries off anyone who whistles after dark)

Undead lord names

Undead lords keep the dignity they had in life: a name from a fallen kingdom and a title like the Pale King or the Deathless Scholar.

  • Sarenius (the Grey Lady)
  • Valaeoth (the Hollow Queen)
  • Valisius (the Grey Lady)
  • Draerix (the Deathless Scholar)
  • Caluleth (the Deathless Scholar)

Questions

Is the demon name generator free?

Yes. It's free with no account and no limit, because the names are put together in your browser rather than by an AI.

What else can it name?

Devils, fae court nobles, fairies and pixies, named monsters and undead lords like liches.

Are these names from mythology or D&D books?

No. They're built from syllables and titles in each style, so they're original rather than copied from real demonology or published books.

Can I use the names in my campaign, game or book?

Yes, use them however you like.
