Glabrezu Names

Tiefling names fall into three broad categories. Tieflings born into another culture typically have names reflective of that culture. Some have names derived from the Infernal language, passed down through generations, that reflect their fiendish heritage.

For some, the chosen name is a noble quest. For others, it’s a grim destiny.
