Argonians In A Nutshell
Argonians are reptilian humanoids that originate in the swampy, rainforest region, situated southeast of Tamriel known as Black Marsh. Black Marsh is a province filled with inland waterways and impenetrable swamps.
Like how reptiles reproduce, Argonians start their early life as eggs. It has been their tradition to lay eggs near Hist trees which serves as their hatching pods. It is considered rare for any Argonian to be born outside of their swamps. Although there are few accounts that say otherwise.
Argonians have gills that allow them to effortlessly travel underwater. Their ability to breathe underwater are well used in combat, which made them great ambushers in rivers and swamps. Argonians also possess other reptilian features such as fins, spines, spikes, or horns. Their adaptability to the Black Marsh made them unevenly immune to diseases.
Argonians preferred to isolate themselves against their neighboring provinces. They have centuries of experience of slavery from the hands of the Dunmer which made them detest the Mer race. Very few details are recorded about Argonian culture except for the common tales about their dependence on the Hist trees from their homeland. Others say that Argonian culture is primitive or tribal. But within the game, there are pieces of evidence that suggest otherwise such as them having a Royal Court, extravagant Shadowcastles, and pyramidic architectures.
The native language of Argonians is called Jel. They define it as the “closest speech to the thought” or as a conversing way to communicate with the Hist trees.

Some of the common Argonian Tribes mentioned from the games are Ghost People, Black-Tounges, Miredancers, and Dead-Water.
Check out some suggested Argonian Clan Names that we hope to see in-game.

Top 10 Funny Argonian Names
We’ve seen names like “Looks-Under-Rocks” or “Watches-The-Roots” in the game itself. By essence, some are already funny. Whether it was intended by the developers or not, we can’t tell.
But hold up, let’s add more funny names to the list! Take a look at our Top 10 hilarious suggestions.
Name | What makes it funny? |
Deek The Hard | This is a no-brainer name. Deek means “young” in the Jel tongue so stop what you’re about to think right now. |
Born-To-Buy | Say no to capitalism. We aren’t born to buy. |
Shavee Those-Ankles | Yes, shave those ankles alright. |
Watcha-Looking-At | Is this an Overwatch reference? Needless to say, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an Argonian NPC (or worst, a player) that has that name. |
Cockpit-Dude | I am pretty sure this is funny. This is funny. Okay, it sounds like an IGN of a player but Argonians can be named like that! Believe me. |
Xal-Thtithil /sal-het-ti-tih-il/ | Not only that it sounds funny, but it’s also a real word from Kassandra’s dialogue in ESO which means… Sacred egg. Do you want to be named after a sacred egg? |
Dark-Mole | Okay, is this a Star Wars reference? I don’t know. But either way, we don’t want a clan named Dark-Mole. |
Rock-Bottom | The Argonians’ morale was low when the Dunmer started their invasion and enslavement. We can say that they reached rock-bottom… pun intended. Yea It didn’t work. |

Whiterum | Is this an insult for the Nords? No one knows. |
