How dark elf (drow) names work

Dark elf, or drow, names keep the elegance of elf names but trade the soft sounds for sharp ones: z, x, q, double consonants and the occasional apostrophe. Female names in drow society usually carry more weight, so they tend to be longer and more ornate. Our generator gives each name a sharp opening, an optional linking sound and a hissing or clipped ending, then adds a noble-house style surname.

Tips

  • Use the house name a lot in dialogue. Among drow, the house matters more than the person.
  • An apostrophe should mark a real pause, not decoration. If you would not pause there, take it out.
  • Male drow names here often end in -zrin, -ryn or -dril; female names in -dra, -yss and -ndra.
