The Tiefling names are given to the fictional humanoid race.
Found in the Players Handbook, their roots are traced back to the human lineage. The race of each character is determined by the culture and naming convention.
Distinctive naming conventions are carried by many Tiefling races, based on the home region or their culture. Tieflings lack a shared culture, as they are mostly an offshoot of another race that comes into being as a choice. As a result, no cultural norms are followed to select a specific name for a Tiefling character.
In the case of some Tiefling families, a human surname is maintained from one generation to another. Thus, a Tiefling born into a specific family might choose to keep the traditions and name common with their ancestors from their Tiefling character.
It is prudent to note here that Tieflings adopt names that are derived from the infernal language reflecting their devilish and fiendish heritage. This encompasses adopting the surname of their demon kin.
Young Tieflings tend to move away from the infernal and family names and prefer going for virtue names. These virtue names reflect what a Tieflings uphold.
The Tieflings are a rouge race that is named after their strong qualities and virtues. They can actually be a variety of skin colors, but the most prominent color is fiery red in some races.
Some popular examples of Tieflings in various hues of red are Imp, Pit Fiend, Moloch, and Chain Devil. They are a sinister, but a highly intellectual race that gets their Tiefling names because of their strong behavioral and emotional qualities.
