Dunmer Name Generator
Dunmer names are elvish with ash in them: v, dr and th at the front, a clipped close, and a family name that tells you which kind of house raised them.

How these dunmer names are built
Dunmer names in the style of the setting sit between elvish and something harder: v, dr, n and s onsets, clear vowels, and short closed endings. This generator builds two or three syllables from that inventory with glossed endings: -as (ash-born), -yn (of the Great House), -ur (ancestor-sworn), -il (of the towers) for men; -a (ash-daughter), -ise (of the towers), -ith (grey-eyed), -ana (temple-raised), -is (red-eyed) for women.
Family names use the same sounds with heavier codas and a longer ending that glosses the family’s station: -aryon (an old family), -ethi (a merchant family), -oren (a temple family), -alor (a landed family), -ris (a soldier family), -venu (a scholar family).
The Great Houses and every named character from the games are blocked; the family endings here are original.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what players and writers ask us most
How is this different from the Drow generator?
Different tradition. Drow names hiss and belong to a matriarchal underworld; Dunmer names are clipped, ash-flavoured and belong to great houses and temples. Use whichever your setting calls for.
