Elves are human-like creatures, normally with pointed ears. They can come with many different traits, abilities and powers. For instance, certain elves may specialise in medicine and healing powers, while others are masters of archery and stealth. Elves also have many sub-breeds, such as aquatic elves are elves that have adapted to life underwater. While wood elves are elves that are found in forests or woodlands.

Create Your Own Elf Name

Before creating your own elf name we suggest you brainstorm some ideas about the personality of your elf character. When brainstorming these ideas, here are some questions to consider:

  • Where was your elf born? Was it the woodlands, underwater, or someplace dark and terrible?
  • What special abilities does the elf possess? Are they great at archery, healing, swordsmanship, magic etc.?
  • What title does your elf have? They could be the ruler of a kingdom or a trained warrior.
  • What role does the elf play in your story? Hero, villain, helper or anything else?

Once the brainstorming session is over, it’s time to create your own name (see printable below for some first and last name ideas).

  1. First, make a list of first-name ideas. For Example Alary, Galbor, Vulmar or Elred. One way to make unique first names is to create a list of prefixes (i.e. Ael, Laf, Cas, Dae etc.). Then make a list of suffixes (i.e. am, har, thar, mah, zair etc.). Then combine these two lists to create a fantasy style first name.
  2. Then make a list of last names.  Examples include Magtris, Obama, Jofir, or Farbella. Again you can make a list of prefixes (i.e. Alean, Gysse, Farb, Mag, Kile etc.). Then a list of suffixes (i.e. altin, are, tris, ella, mitore etc.). Then combine these to create a unique last name for your elf.
  3. Make a list of potential titles. Titles can include Ruler, Counselor, Champion or Assassin.
  4. Now make a list of elf sub-breeds. Some popular elf types or sub-breeds include dark, wood, blood and high elves. 
  5. Finally, put the ideas together to create your unique elf name. Here are our examples: Alary Magtris, Ruler of the Dark Elves or Vulmar Jofir, Champion of the Wood Elves.
