Every first name here is put together from small parts: a start, sometimes a middle, and an ending. Each part was written for this site with its own short meaning and its own respelling, so the meaning and pronunciation you see come from the same pieces as the name itself.

Wood, high, and drow names use different tables; half-elf names pair one of those with a human or dwarven name. Wood elf parts lean on plants, water, and animals. High elf parts run longer and more formal. Drow parts use harder consonants, and most drow family names carry an apostrophe.

Length controls how many middle parts get added. Short is a start plus an ending, Medium adds one middle, and Long adds two. Each result shows its syllable count, so you can see the setting working.

Haemiavel is a wood elf name built from 3 parts. Each part has its own respelling and gloss, and together the glosses make its constructed meaning.

Describing words go first, then the last thing named, then "of the" and any other things named. The parts are joined and only the first letter is capitalized; if two identical vowels would meet, or a meaning would repeat itself, the name is re-rolled. The respelling is the parts' own respellings joined with hyphens, with the stress on the first chunk.

Twenty names from the same tables, ten female and ten male, mixed across wood, high, and drow. They're here so the page has names to read even without JavaScript.
