Elder Scrolls Khajiit Name Generator
Generate Khajiit names for The Elder Scrolls — the cat-people of Elsweyr whose names carry the prefix-hyphen tradition unique among Tamriel's races. Khajiit names are among the most recognisable in the series: a prefix particle (Dra', Daro', Ko', J', Ja', Ji', Jo', M', Ma', Ra', Ri', S', Za') derived from their birth moon phase and gender, joined to a personal name suffix. A Khajiit named J'darsha is male, a Khajiit named Daro'vasara is female and lithe. The moon phase at birth determines the breed (there are 17 Khajiit forms), and the prefix encodes this cultural identity. Male names combine their distinctive apostrophe prefixes or longer syllabic onsets with compound suffixes (barri, farahn, jirr, khar, mhirr, raska, shajirr, tasarr, vassa, zhirr). Female names use a larger prefix set alongside flowing feminine suffixes (ahna, asha, ashi, dasha, hana, hira, inna, iran, irra, nara, rasha, riva, sari, sha, suna, therra, uzi). Khajiit also carry optional clan surnames built from short tribal prefixes (Ah, Boora, Ka, Kha, Mah, Sa, Si, Sol) and clan suffixes (biri, bus, davi, han, hir, kar, manni, nai, oni, rabi, tani, vandi).

About the Khajiit Name Generator

This generator produces authentic Khajiit names for The Elder Scrolls by combining the distinctive prefix-particle tradition unique to the cat-people of Elsweyr. Khajiit names are among the most recognisable in the series: a gender-indicating prefix particle joined to a personal name. Male prefixes include apostrophe-form particles (Dra', Daro', Ko', Ab', Ak', Akh', Dar', Do', Dro', Fa', J', Ja', Ji', Jo', K', M', Ma', Qa', R', Ra', Ri', S', Za', Zan') alongside longer syllabic onsets (Am, Baa, Dah, Has, Hel, Hus, Job, Jot, Kaz, Kes, Kha, Sha, Sho, Urj, Vas, Wad, Zoa) joined to personal suffixes (barri, farahn, jirr, khar, mhirr, raska, shajirr, tasarr, vassa, virr, zaadha, zahn, zahr, zakar).

Female Khajiit names use a wider prefix set including both apostrophe-form particles (Dra', Daro', Ko', La', J', Ja', Ji', Jo', M', Ma', Qa', Ra', Ri', S') and longer syllabic onsets (A, Aba, Adh, Ahj, Ahk, Ahn, Aji, Anu, Ara, Ash, Ata, Ayi, Azi, Bai, Chi, Dah, Dro, Ela, Fa, Hab, Har, Kaa, Kha, Ki, Mo, Na, Ri, Sa, Sha, Shi, Sho, Ta, Tsa, Uda, Unj, Van, Za, Zah, Zay) with flowing feminine suffixes (aba, ahna, asha, ashi, dasha, eena, hana, hira, ila, inna, ira, ja, ki, la, lani, mada, mba, nara, nari, ni, nita, ra, raji, rasha, rashi, sari, sha, si, suna, therra, tima, uki, uzi, ya, yla, zami, zda, zita). Half the generated names include optional clan surnames combining tribal prefixes and suffixes.

Khajiit in Elder Scrolls Lore

Moon-Born People

The Khajiit are the cat-people of Elsweyr, shaped by the light of Masser and Secunda — the two moons of Nirn — at the time of their birth. This moon phase determines not only their Khajiit prefix but their physical form: there are 17 distinct Khajiit breeds, from the tiny Alfiq (resembling a domestic cat, incapable of speech) to the massive Senche-raht (panther-sized war mounts). The most common forms encountered in the games are the Suthay-raht (the bipedal, semi-humanoid form) and the Ohmes (who appear almost identical to Bretons). Their naming tradition encodes gender and moon phase into the prefix particle.

Traders, Thieves, and Companions

Khajiit are stereotyped throughout Tamriel as thieves and smugglers — a prejudice that denies their rich culture, deep philosophy (the Riddle'Thar religious tradition), and extraordinary variety as a species. In ESO, the Khajiit form part of the Aldmeri Dominion alongside the Altmer and Bosmer. In Skyrim, Khajiit caravans camp outside city gates selling exotic goods and occasionally taking part in questlines. Famous Khajiit characters include Ri'saad (caravan leader in Skyrim), Ma'dran, Zamira the Slave (ESO), and J'zargo (mage college companion).

How to Use These Names

  • Skyrim Khajiit characters: The apostrophe-prefix naming tradition is immediately recognisable to any Elder Scrolls player — these names fit seamlessly alongside canonical Khajiit NPCs.
  • ESO Aldmeri Dominion: Create Khajiit characters for Elder Scrolls Online's Aldmeri Dominion faction with authentic moon-phase prefix naming.
  • Caravan merchants: Khajiit caravans are a staple of Elder Scrolls worldbuilding — name original caravan traders, guards, and their leaders convincingly.
  • Thieves Guild operatives: Khajiit are natural fits for the Thieves Guild and other shadow organisations — name original fence, scout, and infiltrator characters.
  • Riddle'Thar practitioners: Khajiit have a rich spiritual tradition — name monks, priests, and spiritual leaders of the lunar faith with authentic names.
  • Fan fiction: Writers exploring Khajiit culture in Elsweyr, Anequina, or Pelletine need names that feel genuinely indigenous to the cat-people's tradition.

What Makes a Good Khajiit Name?

J'darsha

The apostrophe-form prefix (J', M', S', Za') is the most iconic Khajiit naming element — short, sharp consonant-vowel-apostrophe particles that feel genuinely alien and feline.

Daro'vasara

Longer prefix particles (Dro', Dar', Daro', Ko') signal specific moon phases and gender status — female names with these prefixes have an elegant, sinuous quality that befits the Khajiit female form.

Ahbiri

Clan names built from tribal prefixes (Ah, Boora, Ka, Kha, Mah, Sa, Si) combined with suffixes (biri, han, hir, manni, nai, rabi, tani, vandi) ground the character in a specific Khajiit clan tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the Khajiit name prefixes mean? +
Khajiit prefix particles encode gender, social status, and moon phase at birth. Common male prefixes include J' (male, Suthay-raht), Dar' (skilled thief), Do' (warrior), Dro' (elder male), Ko' (wizard). Female prefixes include M' (female, Suthay-raht), Ra' (female elder), Ri' (female ruler), La' (beautiful female). The specific coding varies across different lore sources.
Why are there 17 types of Khajiit? +
The 17 Khajiit forms (collectively called Furstocks) are determined by which of the two moons — Masser (Jode) and Secunda (Jone) — is full, waxing, waning, or absent at the time of birth. This moon phase determines everything from physical size and intelligence to magical aptitude. The Suthay-raht form (bipedal, humanoid) is the most commonly encountered in the games.
Can I use these names for D&D Tabaxi characters? +
Yes — Khajiit names translate well to D&D Tabaxi characters who want something more exotic than standard D&D suggestions. The prefix-particle tradition is especially fitting for Tabaxi from cultures that encode status in name structure. Names like J'dara, Daro'vashar, and Ko'rashi work perfectly in any cat-person fantasy setting.
Does FunGenerators offer API access? +
Yes — FunGenerators provides API access to name generators. Visit fungenerators.com for subscription and documentation details.
Do male and female Khajiit names differ significantly? +
Yes. Male names tend to use shorter, more percussive prefix particles and suffix clusters that sound more aggressive. Female names use a wider range of prefixes including longer melodic particles and flowing suffixes (asha, ishi, nara, rasha, suri, therra) that give them a sinuous, musical quality consistent with the stereotypically graceful Khajiit female form.
Is this generator free? +
Yes — completely free to use. All generated Khajiit names can be used in any personal creative project.
