What Is a Genasi?
A genasi is a person in Dungeons & Dragons who carries the power of an elemental plane, usually through a genie ancestor. Genasi take their name from the genies in their bloodline. The idea of the genie comes from the jinn of Arabian folklore.
The 4 main kinds of genasi match the 4 elements. Air genasi descend from djinn, earth genasi from dao, fire genasi from efreet, and water genasi from marids. Genasi appeared as a 5e player race in the Elemental Evil Player's Companion (2015), and Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse (2022) updated their rules.

4 Quick Tips for Naming a Genasi
- Name the element. A fire genasi suits Lahab (flame), and a water genasi suits Marinus (of the sea).
- Use the genie lore. Genies come from Arabian folklore, so an Arabic name like Nasim (breeze) fits the bloodline.
- Add an epithet. An epithet like Stormborn or Tideborn tells others the element at a glance.
- Pick an English name for a nickname. Short names like Ember, Flint, and Gale work as nicknames among friends.
