About

Generate drow (dark elf) names for D&D 5e — distinct from surface elves, drow names use harsher consonants and elegant apostrophe-laden house surnames. The first-name pool contains 150+ male and 170+ female drow names with subterranean phonetics. House surnames follow the Underdark tradition — Faen Tlabbar, Do'Urden, Mizzrym, Baenre-style — with original-synthesis variations (Faerl'lothan, Do'Vrinn, Mizzrym, Xorlarrin). Useful for Underdark campaigns, Out of the Abyss / Rage of Demons modules, Salvatore-inspired homebrew, and dark elf antagonists. About 70 % female by tradition (drow are matriarchal); use gender filter to flip.

FAQ

Are these from Salvatore / Forgotten Realms?
No — names are original synthesis using established drow phonetic conventions. No direct lifts of Drizzt, Jarlaxle, or other published characters. Safe for commercial use.
Why are the surnames so apostrophe-heavy?
Drow houses traditionally use apostrophes to evoke their alien speech — D'aerth, Do'Urden, Tein'kahl. The convention dates to early Forgotten Realms drow culture and is now standard across drow fiction.
Are drow always evil?
No — by D&D 5e tradition most drow are Lolth-worshipping and antagonistic, but renegade drow (Drizzt-style) and Eilistraee followers are also canon. The names work for any alignment.
Can I use these for Pathfinder dark elves?
Yes — Pathfinder drow follow similar conventions. Works also for Tieflings of the Hadarai bloodline and other dark-aligned elf variants.
