Demon names carry weight. They sound sharp, ancient, and a little dangerous, which is exactly why writers, gamers, and worldbuilders keep coming back to them.
This guide pulls together demon names from mythology, religious texts, anime, and pure fantasy invention. Every list is organized so you can find the tone you want fast, whether that’s biblical dread or Demon Slayer energy.
You’ll find male names, female names, gender-neutral options, and full context on meanings and origins where they matter. No filler, just names worth using.
A quick note before you dive in: most sections below run the full 39 names you’d expect from a list like this. A handful of sections are pulled from real religious texts, real folklore, or a real, actively licensed anime: and reality only supplies so many verified entries. In those spots, we’ve kept the list to what’s actually documented and said so plainly, rather than inventing fake scripture or made-up anime characters just to hit a number.

Biblical Demon Names
Scripture itself names only a limited set of demons directly: that strict list is in “Demon Names In The Bible” below, and this section doesn’t repeat those same names. Instead, it covers demon figures from the wider Judeo-Christian tradition that scripture doesn’t name outright: the deuterocanon and, most heavily, the Book of Enoch, a Jewish text outside the standard biblical canon that has still shaped centuries of demon lore. Even pulling in every legitimate source this way, the real count lands well short of 39: padding it further would mean inventing scripture that doesn’t exist.
- Dagon: A Philistine deity mentioned negatively in Judges and 1 Samuel 🌊
- Semjaza: In the Book of Enoch, the leader of the fallen Watchers 🌑
- Armaros: In the Book of Enoch, a Watcher said to have taught counter-enchantments 🌫️
- Kokabiel: In the Book of Enoch, a Watcher associated with the stars ⭐
- Baraqijal: In the Book of Enoch, a Watcher associated with astrology 🌌
- Shamsiel: In the Book of Enoch, a Watcher associated with the sun’s signs ☀️
- Sariel: In the Book of Enoch, a Watcher associated with the moon’s course 🌙
- Turiel: In the Book of Enoch, one of the twenty leaders of the Watchers 🗿
- Batariel: In the Book of Enoch, one of the twenty leaders of the Watchers 🌧️
- Gadreel: In the Book of Enoch, a Watcher connected to humanity’s corruption 🖤
- Penemue: In the Book of Enoch, a Watcher said to have taught writing 📜
- Ezeqeel: In the Book of Enoch, a Watcher said to have taught knowledge of the clouds ☁️
- Araqiel: In the Book of Enoch, a Watcher said to have taught the signs of the earth 🌍
- Danel: In the Book of Enoch, listed among the leaders of the fallen Watchers 🖤
Note: Lucifer, Satan, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Asmodeus, Mammon, and Belphegor are covered in the “Demon Names In The Bible” and “7 Deadly Signs Demon Names” sections instead of being repeated here, since those are the same historical figures under their canonical or sin-classification context.

Fun Facts About Demon
A few genuinely useful, non-invented facts about how demons appear across culture and language.
The word “demon” traces back to the Greek term daimon, which originally meant a neutral or even protective spirit rather than an evil one. That meaning shifted significantly once early Christian writers began using the term for malevolent beings.
Many demon figures started as gods from older religions. Baal, Moloch, and Dagon were regional deities before later religious texts recast them in a negative light. This pattern of one culture’s god becoming another culture’s demon repeats across history.
Not every culture separates “demon” from “spirit” the way Western tradition does. In Japanese folklore, a yokai can be mischievous, dangerous, or even helpful, and only some fall into a category resembling the Western demon.

Conclusion
A strong demon name should sound instantly memorable, whether it’s pulled from mythology, scripture, anime, or pure invention. This collection gives you options across every one of those categories, organized so you can grab exactly the tone you need.
Use the biblical and mythological names when accuracy matters, and lean on the fantasy and DnD sections when originality matters more. Whatever project you’re naming, there’s a demon name here that fits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good demon name?
A good demon name typically sounds sharp, weighty, and slightly unfamiliar. Names built from harsh consonants, unusual syllables, or dark-sounding roots tend to read as more menacing.
Are the biblical demon names historically accurate?
Yes. The names in the biblical sections come directly from scripture, the deuterocanon, or the Book of Enoch, and are labeled accordingly. Their meanings and contexts are presented as accurately as the source material allows, without inventing extra “biblical” demons to pad the list.
Can I use the fantasy demon names for Dungeons & Dragons?
Yes. The fantasy and DnD sections were built specifically to sound strong at the tabletop while remaining easy for players to pronounce and remember.
Why do some sections have fewer than 39 names?
A handful of sections are tied to real, fixed sources: the Bible names a specific set of demons, Demon Slayer has an exact, licensed roster of characters, there are exactly nine Hashira, and there are exactly seven deadly sins. Filling those sections to 39 would mean fabricating scripture or fictional characters that don’t exist, so they’re left at their true, complete count instead.
Where do most demon names originate from?
Demon names generally come from four main sources: religious texts like the Bible, mythology and folklore from cultures around the world, grimoire literature such as the Ars Goetia, and modern invented names built for fiction and games.
