150 Handpicked Elven Names And High Elf Names For Your Characters
Gallery
Elves are supernatural beings originating from Germanic folklore and mythology.
There are a number of traditions around elf names like all elves have a family name, which most times is a combination of other names. They may also take a title from an achievement in battle instead of their parent's name.
There are different types of elves including wood elves and half-elves among others. Getting the perfect name for your 'Dungeons And Dragons' or fantasy character can be time-consuming.
There are some cool elf names you could give your character irrespective of gender like Lune and Rune, which are the most popular gender-neutral names for elves. There is a general rule that all the names that end in "ael" can be used by any gender.
A few examples are Cathael, Alael, Gelthael, Belrael, and Eluael. There are actually loads of gender-neutral elf names you can select for your characters like all the elven names that end with "-une" including Lyrune, Tarune, Barune, and Sanguine.
You can also form your own Elven surname if you are feeling inspired and would love to spice things up by being adventurous.
An 'elven' name means one relating to an elf.
Elves that would like their title or a part of their title to refer to their parents may decide to do so in Sindarin, which means they'll use the "-iel" suffixes for girls, which means "daughter of" and the boys can use "-ion", which means "son of".
For instance, if you have Legolas son of Thranduil the translation in elf would be "Legolas Thranduilion" the "-ion" makes it a last name.
You can also use Sindarin to choose an elf surname that means something to you and your elf character.
