Sworn to a darker oath…
Evil paladins are not merely warriors who turned cruel. They are zealots, enforcers, and chosen instruments of ruthless gods, dark ideals, or twisted interpretations of divine law. Where holy paladins speak of mercy and justice, evil paladins speak of order, dominance, and inevitable suffering.
Their names should feel imposing, severe, and heavy with purpose. Not playful. Not subtle. A good dark paladin name should sound like it belongs to someone who believes they are right, even as they damn everything around them.
This dark paladin name generator is intended for both Game Masters and players. Whether you need a black-armored knight, a fallen champion, a cult enforcer, or a corrupted former hero, the names below should give you a strong starting point.

Closing thoughts on these dark Paladin names
Regardless of whether you are building an evil, dark, or fallen paladin, the name should feel authoritative, cruel, and absolute. It should sound like it belongs to someone who believes their cause justifies any atrocity and who wears that belief like armor.
Feel free to mix and match first names and surnames, or tweak spellings to better match your setting’s tone. A devil-worshiping crusader, a tyrant’s champion, and a fallen holy knight may all be evil paladins, but their names can hint at very different paths into darkness.
