What Is a Khajiit?
A Khajiit is a cat-like member of a playable race in The Elder Scrolls, native to the province of Elsweyr. The name Khajiit means desert-walker in Ta'agra, the Khajiit language. It joins khaj (desert) and -iit. Khajiit have been a playable race since The Elder Scrolls: Arena in 1994, and they appear in Skyrim as caravan traders.
The 2 moons, Masser and Secunda, decide which body form a Khajiit takes at birth. These forms are called furstocks. Examples include the tall Cathay, the four-legged Senche, and the small Alfiq. Many Khajiit names carry an honorific earned through deeds, as listed on the UESP page on Khajiiti honorifics.

How to Name a Khajiit Character?
A Khajiit name is a short personal name, often joined to an honorific that shows what the Khajiit has earned. In Skyrim, the honorific sits before an apostrophe, as in Ri'saad, or after a hyphen, as in Ma'randru-jo. The personal names in this generator come from Ta'agra words, such as rawla (river), and from Persian words, such as shir (lion). The table below shows each honorific, what it means, and a generated example.
| Name Style | Honorific Meaning | Canon Example | Example Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Do': renowned as a warrior | Do'Karth | Do'Shirad | Lion, the warrior |
| Leader | Ra': an esteemed leader | Ra'virr | Ra'Rawlirr | River, the leader |
| Thief | Dar' (Daro' for women): nimble in fingers and wits | Dar'Ma | Daro'Mahira | Moon, the nimble thief |
| Scholar | -jo (-ko for women): a scholar, physician, or mage | Kharjo | Zarad-jo | Gold, the scholar |
| Elder | Dro' (-dra for women): a wise elder | Dro'marash | Dro'Mornurr | Darkness, the elder |
| Child | Ma': a young child | Ma'dran | Ma'Krinisha | Grin, the child |
4 Quick Tips for Naming a Khajiit
- Match the title to the story. A title is earned, so Do' fits a veteran fighter, and Ma' fits a young Khajiit.
- Keep the personal name short. 2 syllables with a rolling r or a soft zh, such as Rawlirr or Zhabisha, sound like canon Khajiit names.
- Use the third person. Many Khajiit speak of themselves in the third person, as in "this one" or "Rawlirr has wares."
- Skip canon names. Names like J'zargo, Ri'saad, and M'aiq belong to known characters, so the generator leaves them out.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do Khajiit names work?
A Khajiit name is a personal name that can carry an honorific from Ta'agra, the Khajiit language. The honorific shows rank or skill, such as Do for a warrior or Dar for a clever thief. In the games it often sits before an apostrophe, as in Ri'saad.
What does the apostrophe mean in Khajiit names?
The apostrophe separates an honorific from the personal name. In Ri'saad, Ri is the honorific and saad is the name. UESP lists Ri as a title for great leaders of the Khajiit, such as Speakers, kings, and the Mane.
What does Ra, Do, and Dar mean in Khajiit names?
Ra marks an esteemed leader of soldiers, trade, or governance. Do marks a renowned warrior. Dar marks a Khajiit who is nimble in fingers and wits, which often means a thief. The female form of Dar is Daro.
What does Jo mean in Khajiit names?
Jo marks a respected physician, scholar, or mage, as in Kharjo and Ma'randru-jo. The female form is Ko.
Do Khajiit have last names?
Most Khajiit go by a single personal name, sometimes with an honorific. Family names are rare in the games, so a name like Do'Rawlirr is complete on its own.
