How the Aasimar Name Generator works
This aasimar name generator gives a fresh list with every click. Generate aasimar names: celestial names such as Serathiel, Aurion and Lumenara, human-born names such as Clara Everard and Lucien Harcourt, full names such as Cassiriel Silverstone and Edmund Montclair, born Itharion, names with a celestial guide such as Solenne, guided by the angel Sarathiel, and names with an epithet such as Caelan Dawnborn and Auriel the Reluctant. Choose female, male or either and generate up to a hundred at once.
Aasimar name generator: how the names are built
An aasimar is the mirror of a tiefling, a mortal with a celestial ancestor, and their names mirror the tiefling's too. The celestial name is bright, long and Latinate, with -iel and -ion endings borrowed from the angelic register, Serathiel, Aurion, Lumenara, Cassian, the name a celestial parent or guardian gave. The human-born name is the one the mortal parents gave, Clara, Edmund, Isolde, with a surname from the noble houses of this section, for the aasimar who did not know what they were until the light came out. This generator gives both, combines them, and adds the celestial guide, the angel or deva who in most modern settings watches over an aasimar and speaks to them in dreams.
Celestial name gives the bright name alone or with an epithet. Human-born name gives the mortal name with a house. Full name mixes them, the celestial name over a house, Cassiriel Silverstone, or the mortal name with the celestial birth name behind it, Edmund Montclair, born Itharion. Name with guide adds the guardian, Solenne, guided by the angel Sarathiel, Lumenar, ward of the Nameless Watcher, which is a backstory in a line: the guide's name and the guide's silence are the two things an aasimar story is about. Name with epithet adds what others call them, Dawnborn, Lightbringer, Wingless, or an adjective, the Radiant, the Fallen, the Doubting, since the fallen aasimar is as common a character as the faithful one.
The gender option splits the celestial and human lists, with -iel, -a and -ine endings for females and -ion, -an and -ar for males, and leaves epithets, houses and guides shared. The guide list is deliberately ungendered, since angels in most settings are.
The lists are original. Aasimar and angel naming borrows the -iel and -ion endings that every angelic register uses, so a name here may coincide with one in some published setting or with a traditional angel name; none is copied, and a name intended for commercial use should be searched first.
For the guide itself, the angel page; for the tiefling who is the aasimar's shadow, the tiefling page; for the paladin or cleric an aasimar so often becomes, the paladin and cleric pages; and for the house the mortal name comes from, the noble house page.
FAQ
What is a celestial guide?
In most modern settings an aasimar has an angel, deva or other celestial who watches over them, speaks in dreams and expects things of them. The Name with guide kind adds the guide's name, so the aasimar's relationship with the guide, faithful, reluctant or estranged, is in the name.
Why do the names end in -iel and -ion?
Because those are the endings of the angelic register in every tradition, and a reader hears them as celestial before the character is described. The names here are coinages in that register, built on light and dawn stems, Lumen, Aur, Sol, Cael.
Would an aasimar use a human name?
Often. Many aasimar in fiction are raised by mortal parents and named by them, and only learn their nature later. Human-born name gives that name with a house from this section, and Full name puts the celestial name behind it.
Can I make a fallen aasimar?
Yes. The epithets and adjectives include Fallen, Doubting, Reluctant, Grieving and Wingless, and the guide list includes the Nameless Watcher, so a name for an aasimar who has turned from the light or been abandoned by it is a single click away.
Are any of these names from published works?
No. Every list is original. Angelic naming shares -iel and -ion endings across every game and tradition, so a coincidental match with a published aasimar or a traditional angel name is possible, and a name meant for commercial use should be searched first.
