Khajiit Name Generator
Pick male, female or random and press the button for one to ten Khajiit names from a list of 393 for your Skyrim or ESO character.Choose how many names you want (1 to 10), pick male, female or random, and press the button. You get that many Khajiit names from a list of 393, shown one per card. The list is written for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, ESO and Oblivion characters, and it leans heavily on the Ta'agra-style prefixes and sounds the games use, so most results look at home next to Kharjo, J'zargo and Ri'saad.
The two options
The number box takes 1 to 10. The gender dropdown has three settings. Male draws from 262 names, female from 131, and Random shuffles all 393 together. Nothing else is filtered; there is no option for a prefix, a clan or a furstock. Each press reshuffles, so you can press repeatedly to see more of the list.
What the names look like
The male list carries most of the classic Ta'agra forms: J'bari, J'zhara, Ra'jhir, Na'dir, Dar'lajma, Dro'dahra, Ma'rasha, M'raajih, Q'awa, along with unprefixed names like Kasa, Khasha, Rijjan, Goram and Kalthar. The female list is different in character: it holds the nature, sky and gemstone names players commonly give female Khajiit (Luna, Willow, Aurora, Raven, Sierra, Tundra, Winter, Topaz) plus a few borrowed fantasy names, and none of the apostrophe prefixes. If you want a lore-flavored female name, use Random or Male and pick one of the softer entries such as Shadira, Qamara, Nalayna or Ahkala; the games themselves use names like Ahkari, Zaynabi and Atahbah for women.
How Khajiit names work in the lore
Khajiit personal names are usually a single word, sometimes joined to a title or a nickname ("M'aiq the Liar", "Ma'randru-jo"). What makes them distinctive is the honorific prefix, separated by an apostrophe, that says something about the character's status. These are the ones you will see most in the games and in this list:
| Prefix | Usual meaning | In-game example | From this list |
|---|---|---|---|
| J', Ji', Ja' | Young adult, bachelor | J'zargo, Ji'kharra | J'bari, Ji'dahra, Ja'darri |
| Ra' | Leader, high rank | Ra'jirr, Ra'zhinda | Ra'jhir, Ra'hasa, Ra'dahra |
| Dro' | Grandparent, respected elder | Dro'marash | Dro'dahra |
| Do' | Warrior | Do'kharo | Do'arra |
| Dar', Daro' | Thief, trickster, clever one | Dar'jee, Daro'Vasora | Dar'lajma, Daro'hira |
| M', Ma' | Child, apprentice, or virgin | M'aiq, Ma'randru-jo | M'raajih, Ma'rasha |
| S' | Adult (no other title) | S'rathra | S'hi, S'hba |
| Ri' | Clan leader, mane | Ri'saad | Ri'ivva |
A few lore facts help when you are choosing. Prefixes are earned, so a character can change one over a lifetime, and Khajiit who dislike titles drop them entirely (Kharjo, Ahkari). Suffixes exist too, with -dar, -do and -ra carrying the same meanings as their prefix twins, though the games use them far less. Elsweyr is the Khajiit homeland, and Pellitine is its southern half; both appear in the list as names, which is fine for a character named after a place but worth knowing.
Who this is for
- Skyrim and ESO character creation. The most common use. Generate ten, pick the one that fits your build (a Do' or Ra' prefix for a fighter, Daro' for a thief), and move on to the sliders.
- Roleplay and fan fiction. A caravan needs six named traders. Use Random and take the whole batch.
- Tabletop games set in Tamriel. NPCs for a homebrew campaign, with the prefix table above as a quick status cue for players.
- Pet cats. A surprising number of people name a real cat after a Khajiit. J'zhara and Khasha work well when yelled across a kitchen.
If your character is something other than a cat-folk, the Elden Ring Name Generator and Witch Name Generator cover other RPG registers, the Gnome Name Generator handles the short folk, and the Medieval Name Generator suits Nords and Imperials. Everything in this family is under all name generators.
Frequently asked questions
- Are these the actual Khajiit names from Skyrim?
A few overlap with in-game names by coincidence, but the list is not the game's NPC roster. It is a set of names written in the same style, using the same prefixes, so they fit alongside the canon characters without duplicating them.
- What do the apostrophe prefixes mean?
They are honorifics. J' marks a young adult or bachelor, Ra' a leader, Dro' an elder, Do' a warrior, Dar' or Daro' a thief, M' or Ma' a child or apprentice, and Ri' a clan leader. The table on this page lists them with examples.
- Why does the female list include names like Luna and Willow?
The female list reflects the names players actually give female Khajiit, which are often nature and sky words rather than Ta'agra. The Ta'agra-style names are all in the male list, and many of them (Shadira, Nalayna, Qamara, Ahkala) read as feminine, so use Male or Random and pick from those if you want a lore-style female name.
- Can I get a Khajiit last name?
Khajiit do not use family surnames in the games; identity comes from the prefix and sometimes a clan or a nickname. The generator gives single names only, which matches how the characters are named in Skyrim and ESO.
