About tiefling names

Infernal names

Tiefling names from the Infernal tongue have a classical, slightly sinister sound: Akmenos, Damakos, Kallista, Nemeia. Endings such as -os, -menos and -ia echo Greek and Latin.

Virtue names

The Player's Handbook describes younger tieflings who pick a "virtue name", a concept they want to live by or that fate handed them: Hope, Glory, Weary, Torment. A virtue name says a lot about a character in one word.
