Khajiit Naming Conventions in the Elder Scrolls

Khajiit names in the Elder Scrolls follow consistent patterns that reflect their Elsweyr origins and cat-people culture:

• Honorific prefixes: Many Khajiit names begin with an honorific that indicates status or circumstance of birth — "J'" or "Ji" (young or unproven), "Ra'" or "Ri'" (respected or elder), "Do'" or "Dro'" (experienced warrior), "M'" or "Ma'" (adult or experienced)
• Flowing syllables: Khajiit names use flowing, melodic syllables with many vowels and soft consonants, reflecting a feline speech pattern
• No human-style surnames: Khajiit do not use hereditary surnames in the Western sense. Instead, they often describe themselves by their home province or clan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the prefixes in Khajiit names mean?

In established Elder Scrolls lore, Khajiit name prefixes indicate life stage and social status. "J'" or "Ji" denotes a young or unproven Khajiit. "M'" or "Ma'" indicates an adult. "Ra'" indicates a respected or elderly Khajiit. "Do'" indicates a seasoned warrior. "Dro'" indicates a grandfather-figure or elder. Not all names use these prefixes — some younger or more Cyrodilic-influenced Khajiit use plainer names.

Can I play a Khajiit in D&D?

There's no official Khajiit race in D&D, but the Tabaxi (from Volo's Guide to Monsters and the 2024 Player's Handbook) fills the same role — a catfolk race with nimble, thieving, and naturally curious traits. Tabaxi naming conventions are different from Khajiit, using longer, descriptive names like "Cloud on the Mountaintop" or "Zenith of the Golden Moon," but this generator's names work well for any exotic feline character.
