Elf names can have very different origins and feels depending on how you create them. They can be borrowed from locale folklore, literature like Tolkien or they can be generated randomly and based on a fantasy universe.

How to make cool elf names
Elf names can be made in many ways. You can borrow old names from folklore, history or literature. And you can find lots of inspiration in Role Playing Games and RPG literature.
Elf names from common words
You can also generate your elf name from an ordinary word. Change random vowels or other letters till you get something that sound like a cool elvish name.
- Table to tublor
- Basket to buskat
- Girl to Groll
- Falcon to Fiklon
- Lady to Ledi
- Female to femla
Thee words can actual bear some resemblance with well known words and can borrow some meanings and familiarity from them and at the same time seem new and interesting.
Elvish names from ordinary names
Another method is to take a normal real life name and change some of the letters. Either vowels or consonants or a some of both.
- Peter to Pator
- Clive to Cleva
- Elvis to Elfos
- Hugo to Hagi
- Richard to Ribard
Both of above methods are very good and useful, when you want to come up with some really special, creative and cool names.
Elf names by the generator
The Elf Name Generator uses fantasy names to create the base. They are in general made by some basic syllables.
The final touch
After that process the elf names are sorted manually. Those without the right feel are removed. And the same are those who is hard to pronounce or articulate. And new ones are added with inspiration from the randomly generated names.
And finally the generator is run to refine and create the final elf names.
Male and female elf names
55% of names generated are male, the remaining are female elf names.
But all the elvish names are fantasy name, which makes it difficult to decide if the output is male or female. So many of the generated names can be used for both female elves and male elves. It's all down to your taste and personal preferences.
The Name Generators project
Easy elvish names
Top priority on all my generators is usability. User interface should be easy to overview. A huge button and big bold text makes the interface easy and fast to grasp. After a split second on the page, you are ready to start using the generator.
There is no forms to fill, no inputs to make or check boxes to check. Just a click on the big button and you get all the names you want. And if you don't fancy the first one, just click the button again and get a new one.
Fast, stable and private
It is all programmed in JavaScript. JavaScript makes it blazing fast and simple, because the web page don't need to reload every time the button is clicked. Instead the names are made locally in your browser.
That also makes it both stable and private. No waits and no http request to the server, and the list is only shown locally on your own computer and nowhere else.
Randomness
A random number generator adds randomness, surprise and diversity to the names. The Elf Generator can make over 8 million unique combinations, so there is enough to choose from.
