High Elf Name Generator & Guide

High Elves are slim, athletic, and commonly fair-skinned creatures with keen minds. They usually have long dark hair and green eyes which often lack pupils. Their peculiar view on the world, thanks to their longevity, makes them come off as distant, arrogant, and haughty.

They age similarly to Humans, but only up to their adolescent years when they visibly slow down. They are considered mature at around 100 years old and can live for over several hundreds of years. They are always associated with Magic and Weapon prowess and make for excellent mages and warriors.

Like many other elves, they do not sleep. Instead, they enter a trance and meditate for 4 hours per day which is enough for them to feel mentally refreshed. During their meditation, High Elves have a complete awareness of their surroundings and can’t easily be surprised.

How to Choose a Good High Elf Name

High Elf names tend to sound elvish, as their name suggests, of course. They can be quite long, especially from a human point of view. While humans have Cale, Jeanie, and Willem, the High Elves have Trendildaril, Loraginia, and Moraaranyon. Using one word, they are exotic.

Just as their language sounds strange, poetic, almost to the point of singing, so does some of their names. An uneducated commoner would certainly have trouble at even trying to pronounce them. At first, they seem like random letters put together, but if you watch carefully, you’ll see there’s a method to it.

High Elf Name Formula Examples

There are more ways than one to name your High Elf so let’s take a look at some examples.

You can use certain suffixes to make the name sound more to their nature, which can often depend on gender. Males have names which often end up with “-ion”, “-nil”, “-dil”, while Female names end up with “-ielle”, “-ya”, and “-nde”.

Here are some examples of what works:

• -ion, Lithrionion
• -nil, Artlanil
• -dil, Tandldil
• -ielle, Ravielle
• -ya, Astnirya
• -nde, Ayryeminde

The fact that the names can often look like random letters can be a double edge sword. On one hand, we think we can simply use any letters and get a name. On the other hand, there are particular trends most names have, giving it all a certain structure.

Use logic to guide you in the process. For example, you wouldn’t use “Trdldnion” as it isn’t exactly audible. You would, however, use something like “Trandulion” since “Trandul” flows of the tongue more easily.

PRO TIP: [Use morphemes that are easy on the tongue and ears like Calurion (ka-loo-ree-on) or Rhondanil (ron-dah-nill)]

How to Create a High Elf Last Name

Many High Elves don’t have a surname, but we can still create one. One way is to use names of raw materials, natural phenomenons, animals, plants, and so on. Silvermoon, Whitefox, and Pineroot are good examples.

We can also use a method similar to the one we applied for the first name. Using suffixes such as “-ael”, “-nor”, and “-ahl” we can create surnames such as Laraethael, Saelinor, and Faeahl. You may want to use more nature-related words, as it’s where High Elves usually live.
