Wood Elf Name Generator

Elven naming conventions that feel consistent

Elf names read as elvish because of restraint, not decoration. Choose a handful of vowels and liquid consonants — l, r, n, th, ae, ia — and stay inside them for a whole culture.

Split the job between a given name and a clan or place name. The given name carries the character; the clan name carries the forest they come from and can be reused across a party.

Soft profiles suit healers, scholars and diplomats. Strong profiles, with more hard consonants, fit rangers and war leaders without leaving the same language family.

Frequently asked questions

Is this based on Tolkien's languages?

No. The phonology is invented in-house so results are free to use and make no claim to any published language.

Can I get matching family names?

Turn on 'Include clan name' and every result carries a clan name you can reuse for related characters.

How do I get shorter names?

Set length to Short — the generator then favours two-syllable forms.
