Top 50 Elf Names for D&D 5e

Dungeons & Dragons has been the world's most popular tabletop RPG since 1974. A great character name sets the tone for roleplaying and helps your party remember who you are. These names are designed for D&D 5th Edition and draw from official sourcebooks, fantasy linguistics, and community conventions.

Elves live for over 700 years, giving them a perspective on the world that shorter-lived races cannot match. In the Forgotten Realms, elves have witnessed the rise and fall of empires. Sub-races include High Elves, Wood Elves, and the Drow (dark elves) of the Underdark.

Elvish names draw from Tolkien's Sindarin and Quenya languages, with flowing vowels and soft consonants. Elves receive a childhood name (chosen by parents) and an adult name (chosen by the elf). Many elves also use "translations" of their names in Common.
