Your Khajiit Name Generator for the Elder Scrolls and Beyond
Khajiit are one of the most beloved races in the Elder Scrolls universe. From the warm sands of Elsweyr to the snowy streets of Skyrim, these cat-like people have a rich culture and an even richer naming system. Our Khajiit Name Generator creates authentic Khajiit names that feel like they were pulled straight from a caravan ledger. Whether you are creating a character for Skyrim, Elder Scrolls Online, or your own original RPG, this tool gives you names with the distinctive honorific prefixes that make Khajiit names so memorable.
🐾 Honorific Prefixes
Khajiit names often start with a prefix like J', M', Ra', Daro that tells others their role or age. The generator correctly applies these prefixes based on Khajiit lore.
📜 Lore-Accurate Roots
Names are built from real Khajiit name parts found across Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and ESO. Some include surnames in the style of earlier games, while others follow the later single-name pattern.
🌙 Moon-Connected
Khajiit believe their subrace is determined by the phases of Masser and Secunda. The generator lets you pick a subrace like Cathay, Suthay, Ohmes, or Alfiq to get names that match that furstock.
How Khajiit Names Work in Tamriel
The Khajiit naming system is one of the most interesting in all of gaming. Their names often begin with an honorific prefix separated from the root name by an apostrophe. These prefixes are not decorative; they carry specific meaning in Khajiiti culture.
Common Honorific Prefixes and Their Meanings
- J', Ja', Ji' – a bachelor or young adult male
- M', Ma' – a child or apprentice (regardless of gender)
- Ra' – a chief or military leader
- Ri' – a king or the Mane (the spiritual leader of the Khajiit)
- Dro – a grandfather or wise elder
- La – an unmarried female
- Daro – a thief or sneaky character
- S' – a common adult (gender-neutral)
The famous M'aiq the Liar, who appears in multiple Elder Scrolls games, uses the M' prefix, which marks him as a child or apprentice – a subtle joke given his ancient, mysterious nature. The generator draws from all these prefixes to create names that feel lore-friendly.

Khajiit Names in Different Elder Scrolls Games
In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Khajiit names followed a clear pattern: an honorific prefix, a root name, and often a surname inspired by Indian or Persian naming traditions. You would meet characters like Jobasha or Ra'Virr. In Oblivion and Skyrim, surnames became less common, and names like J'zargo or Kharjo were the norm. In Elder Scrolls Online, set hundreds of years earlier, both styles appear. Our generator reflects this variety, sometimes producing names with a surname for a classic feel, and sometimes sticking to the simpler single-name format.
