At a Glance
Drow names are names used in drow families or communities.
Names
The names listed here come from lists or generators included in Wizards of the Coast products. They are not based on actual NPC names taken from novels, sourcebooks, etc.
For a greater variety of names, see the random generator in the 3e Drow of the Underdark, pages 38-39, or Dragon Magazine #267, pages 28-31. The staggering array of possibilities makes a full list impractical.
