The following table highlights some common elements and inspirations found in Drow names, lending insight into their cultural significance and potential origins:
Name Element | Source/Background Story | Characteristic Significance |
---|---|---|
Suffix: ‘-rae’ | Elven suffix meaning “beauty” or “gift”; corrupted through centuries of evil | Often used in high-status or noble Drow families. Suggests outward beauty, yet potentially also hidden corruption and dangerousness. Note that pure Elven does not follow this method. Because of the corruptive chaos that follows Lloth, traditional Elven teachings get turned upside down. These names often come with extreme cruelty in relation. |
Prefix: ‘Oloth-’ | Derived from the name of Lloth, the Spider Queen, principal goddess of the Drow. | Indicates piety or favor associated with Lloth. The Drow often use the suffix to showcase their religious connection with the Mother Spider Queen. |
Roots denoting Spiders/Poison | Drow Culture and Lloth: Spiders and Venom symbolize cruelty, and are elements strongly woven to Lolth-worshipping culture. | Used in names to indicate great power from within, a high social standing, and/or talent for using deadly poisons |
Family Names starting with ‘Baen…’" | Legacy Family of forgotten history. | Denotes membership/descendants of an Ancient House. Usually connected with treachery and intrigue. Betrayal is the biggest weapon of Drow houses. |
Drow Naming Convention - No “Common” Names | Highly competitive Drow Society: The Matron mothers encourage ruthless ambition. | To encourage uniqueness with a connection to family - names are rarely repeated, instead new iterations are combined. This is to show individual strength and legacy status. |
