Beneath the twisted spires of Menzoberranzan, where spider silk glistens in the eternal twilight, a drow’s name is both weapon and birthright. Our Drow Name Generator crafts names worthy of Lolth’s cunning—whether you’re a ruthless weapon master, a sly priestess, or a renegade seeking the surface world.
Why Drow Names Drip With Danger
In the Underdark, names are a web of power and deception. True drow names:
- Crackle with dark elegance (Viconia, Jhaelryna, Malagar)
- Ooze spider-queen malice (Liriel Baenre, Sabal T’orgh)
- Often hide true intentions (Surface alias: Nyx | True name: Nyxthara Xund’afin)
How We Spin Perfect Drow Names
We’ve plundered D&D lore and Underdark naming conventions to:
✔ Blend melodic cruelty (Elven beauty + Underdark harshness)
✔ Incorporate noble house suffixes (-‘afin, -‘rae, -‘darr)
✔ Offer renegade/surface variants (For those who flee Lolth’s grasp)

3 Secrets to Crafting Drow Names
- Double letters & apostrophes = Jhael’ryss, Vuss’phyn
- Spider-kin terms = “Drisinil” (shadow spider), “Qu’ellar” (noble house)
- Surface-world deception = A drow named “Vaelin” hides “Vael’inyrr”
