How triton names work
Triton names flow from the Mediterranean deep — Greek sea-roots like thalassa (sea), pelagos (open water) and Nereus shaped into flowing, vowel-forward names. They sound formal because triton society is formal: an ancient undersea protectorate that never stopped using its ceremonial register.
Anatomy of a triton name
This generator assembles names the way the tradition does. Typical openings include Coral, Delph, Aqua, Mar, Nerei, Ond, Pelag, Thal; names run 2–3 syllables and resolve on endings such as -on, -us, -ia, -yn, -eus, -is. Gender lives mostly in the ending: feminine forms favour -ia, -ea, -ene, -yn, -is, masculine forms -on, -us, -eus, -or, -ios, and neutral names simply pick from the wider pool.

Where triton names come from
Triton names come from the Mediterranean deep: the race takes its name from Triton, son of Poseidon, and their names draw on Greek sea-words — thalassa (sea), pelagos (open water), and Nereus, the old man of the sea. D&D's tritons are formal guardians of the ocean depths, and their names read as ceremonial because triton society still uses them ceremonially.
How to build a good one
Flowing vowel-forward names with Greek sea roots: Thalassa, Pelagius, Nereia, Okeanos. Masculine endings -on, -us, -eus; feminine -ia, -ea, -ene. Three syllables suits the formality. Avoid hard stops at the end — triton names should resolve like a wave settling.
At the table
Tritons in D&D lore are a little out of touch with the surface world, so play the formality: a triton introducing themselves by full name and lineage to a bemused tavern crowd is a character moment that writes itself. Tritons are also newcomers to the surface in most settings, so a triton who has started shortening their own name is showing, in one small choice, how far they've adapted.
