A song carried on moonlight…
Elves are a people of long memory, slow time, and deep connection to beauty, magic, and the natural world. Where other folk build quickly and burn brightly, elves tend to grow patiently, shaping both their cultures and their identities across centuries. An elf name is rarely chosen lightly. It often reflects lineage, poetic tradition, or some meaningful moment in the bearer’s life.
Because of this, elf names usually sound fluid, melodic, and slightly otherworldly. They should feel elegant without being fragile, ancient without being dusty. The goal is not complexity for its own sake, but a sense that the name belongs to someone who has seen more seasons than most mortals ever will.
This elf name generator is built to support both Game Masters and players. Whether you need a wandering sword-dancer, a distant noble, a forest sentinel, or an enigmatic spellcaster, the names below should give you a strong starting point.

Closing thoughts on these Elf names
Good elf names should feel musical, timeless, and slightly distant. They don’t need to be hard to pronounce, but they should suggest a culture shaped by long life, tradition, and quiet confidence.
Feel free to mix first names and surnames, tweak spellings, or adapt them to better fit your setting’s version of elves. A high elf court, a woodland enclave, and a nomadic elf band might all favor different naming conventions.
