Tiefling Naming Tradition
Tiefling names in D&D 5e come in two flavors: Infernal names (Diabolic, Abyssal-sounding, like Akmenos or Skamos) and Virtue names that tieflings sometimes take to define themselves on their own terms (Justice, Despair, Silence). Both traditions coexist.
Tieflings with virtue names often chose them as teenagers, rejecting the infernal legacy. It's a character decision as much as a name.
