Are these real demon names from a religious or occult text?

No. There is no demonological list in this tool and nothing here is copied from scripture, a grimoire or a published character list. Every stem in the demon set was written for this generator, and a name is assembled in the page by rule: one stem from a list of 44, abzu, dzeph, korvash or wrethe among them, a prefix, az or mal, in about a third of draws, one of four endings, oth, iel, zag or ur, in about half, with joins allowed to collide rather than smoothed out, then a title or a domain of power taken from eight written phrases each. No stem carries a meaning, a translation or an etymology, and the tool makes no claim about anything real, invokes nothing and promises nothing. A short invented word can still land near a name you have read somewhere, because there are only so many ways to arrange these sounds, and that is chance rather than copying. The accuracy line under the tool is the full statement of it. These are names for fiction and games.

What do the titles and the domains do, and what does Length change?

Length changes the grammar of the name rather than the size of the invented word, because the demon set always builds that word from a single stem. Short returns either a bare name, Khoma or Grishk, or a name with a title, Cruxa, the Debtkeeper. Medium keeps both of those and adds the domain form, Az'chazor'ur of the Long Quiet. Long drops the bare name entirely, so every draw comes back carrying one or the other, as in Ossik'zag of the Broken Hour. There are eight titles, the Unbidden, the Debtkeeper, the Rustmouth, the Thousand Pacts, the Sallow Judge, the Ashwright, the Gravebound and the Bitter Clerk, and eight domains, from the Seventh Cinder to the Cold Bargain. Length is part of the draw rather than a display setting, so the same seed at a different length gives a different list.

Why do some demon names have an apostrophe in them?

The apostrophe is a join, not a letter. When the generator attaches the prefix az or mal, or one of the endings oth, iel, zag or ur, it either runs the parts straight together or sets an apostrophe at the seam, which is why Azossik and Az'ossik are both shapes this set can produce and why a bit over a third of the names carry one. It is a join in the reading cue too: the cue under a name is cut at the joins the assembly made, with one syllable in capitals for the stress, so Ossik'zag reads os-sik-ZAG and the apostrophe itself is not spelled out. The cue never respells a letter, and it leaves the plain words of a title or a domain alone, because those were written rather than assembled.

How do I keep the demon names I like?

Every name in the grid has a star beside it. Press it and the name drops into a kept list under the tool with its style and its reading cue, and Copy kept puts that whole list on the clipboard, one name per line. Press the star again to drop a name from the list. Clicking a name itself copies that one name, Copy all copies the grid that is on screen, and the Count field takes any whole number from 1 to 100 if you want a bigger sweep in one press. Pressing Generate again leaves what you kept alone, so you can draw several times and collect as you go. The kept list lives in this tab only and goes when you close it, which is the honest limit: copy anything you want before you leave.

Can I get the same demon names back tomorrow?

Type a word into the Seed word field. With a seed the names come from a small stream started by that word, so the same seed with the Demon style and the same length returns the same names in the same order, on this machine and on any other. Note the word down and the cast is reproducible, and you can send a table the seed word rather than the list. Leave the seed empty and every press draws fresh from the browser's cryptographic generator, which cannot be replayed, and a seed of only spaces counts as empty. The style, length, count and seed word are remembered in this browser, and the Start over button at the top of the page forgets them. This page still opens on Demon whatever is remembered.

Can I use one of these names in a game or a book I sell?

We place no restriction on it. The demon stems were written for this tool and the assembly is a rule that runs in the page, so a name is invented here rather than lifted from a published list, and no name is licensed to you or withheld from you. What the page cannot tell you is whether a particular string is already in use as a trademark or a character name somewhere, because that is a question about the world and not about this generator. A name can land near a real one by chance, so a name you plan to put on a cover is worth a search before you commit to it. The accuracy line under the tool is the authority on all of this.

Can I use these names for a tiefling?

Yes, and the set suits it: the stems are written to sound infernal, with a z in fourteen of the 44 and a th in ten, and a join may take an apostrophe, Az'lymer or Jazek'oth. There is no tiefling setting, and nothing here comes from a rulebook or a game's own list of names. Short gives a bare name or a name with one title, Dzephiel, the Unbidden, which is the usual shape for a character sheet. Medium and Long add the domain form, of the Seventh Cinder, which reads more like a fiend than a player character.

Demon Name Generator

This page opens the fantasy name generator on its Demon style, so the first grid is demon names whatever style you last used here. Each name is one invented word from a syllable set written for demons alone, sometimes with an apostrophe at the join, and a title or a domain of power can follow it, as in Cruxa, the Debtkeeper or Azossik of the Cold Bargain.

Style

Demon

Length

Count

Seed word

The chips choose the style, and each one has its own word list: Demon builds character names. The line under each name is a reading cue for the invented word the name is built on, cut at the joins the generator used.

A seed word makes a run repeatable. Type one and this style and length return the same names in the same order, on any machine, so a session you planned last week comes back unchanged. Leave it empty and every press draws fresh from the browser’s cryptographic generator. Nothing you type is uploaded, and we place no restriction on using the names you keep.

Every word list here is written for this tool and each name is assembled by rule from it, so a name can land near a real one by chance but is never copied from a published character list; some styles, Medieval, Clan and Guild among them, use real names and English words on purpose. The pronunciation cue is built from the same syllables, or for a Clan or Guild word from a written reading of the whole word, so it is a reading aid rather than a claim about any language.
