Elder Scrolls Argonian Names
Argonians, the reptilian natives of Tamriel’s swamps, have some of the most unique and memorable names in the Elder Scrolls universe. Their naming conventions are split into two main styles: traditional Jel (their native language) names, which often sound hissing, guttural, or aquatic, and translated “hist-given” names, which appear as descriptive phrases in Tamrielic (like Swims-in-Deep-Water or Hides-His-Heart). This duality gives Argonian names a lot of flavor—some are mysterious and alien, while others are vivid and story-like, hinting at the character’s personality, history, or deeds.
With this generator, you can skip the brainstorming and jump straight into creating a lizardfolk hero, rogue, or mage—complete with a name that instantly evokes the swamps of Black Marsh and the whispers of the Hist.
