Demon names have fascinated humans for millennia, not just as warnings, but as windows into how ancient cultures understood evil, chaos, and the supernatural. From Mesopotamian tablets to medieval grimoires, these names were recorded with care because people genuinely believed naming a demon gave you power over it, or at least helped you recognize the danger.<\/p>\n
What makes these names compelling today goes beyond the spooky factor. Many carry genuinely beautiful sounds wrapped around terrifying meanings, and a growing number of parents, writers, and game designers are drawn to them for exactly that tension. This list covers demon names drawn from real mythological traditions, Sumerian, Akkadian, Hebrew, Greek, Roman, Zoroastrian, Japanese, Hindu, and medieval European, with honest explanations of what each one actually means.<\/p>\n
Some of the oldest recorded demon names in history come from ancient Mesopotamia. These names appear on clay tablets, in exorcism texts, and in the famous Maql\u00fb series of anti-witchcraft rituals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The king of the wind demons and lord of the southwest wind, Pazuzu brought drought, famine, and locusts. His name is Akkadian and does not carry a clean translation, but his identity is unmistakable: a winged, dog-faced demon who paradoxically was also invoked to ward off other evil spirits, particularly Lamashtu. Widely recognized today from The Exorcist<\/em>where the name was borrowed directly from Mesopotamian mythology.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lamashtu was one of the most feared demons in ancient Mesopotamia, a female figure who preyed on pregnant women and infants. Her name in Akkadian is connected to concepts of disease and affliction. Amulets bearing Pazuzu’s image were worn specifically to repel her.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Sumerian mythology, Asag was a demon so hideous that his mere presence caused fish to boil alive in the rivers. He was associated with disease and was said to have been defeated by the hero-god Ninurta. The name appears in one of the oldest literary epics ever recorded.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Gallu were a class of underworld demons in Sumerian belief, described as relentless enforcers who dragged souls to the realm of the dead. The name appears in the myth of Inanna’s descent into the underworld, where seven Gallu escort the goddess herself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Al\u00fb was an Akkadian demon who lurked in dark corners and attacked sleeping humans, pressing against their chests and causing paralysis. The concept maps closely to what later cultures would call a nightmare or incubus. The name is attested in multiple exorcism texts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Akkadian precursor to the Hebrew Lilith, Lilitu was a storm and wind demon associated with disease and the night. The name derives from the Sumerian word lil<\/em>meaning wind or air. She is one of the earliest female demons recorded in any mythology.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Namtar was the Sumerian and Akkadian demon of fate and plague, described as a messenger and gatekeeper of the underworld. His name translates roughly as “he who cuts off fate.” He was said to command sixty diseases and could inflict them at will.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Humbaba (also spelled Huwawa) was the monstrous guardian of the Cedar Forest in the Epic of Gilgamesh. His roar was a flood, his mouth was fire, and his breath was death. The name is likely of Hurrian origin, and his face was depicted as a coiled mass of intestines used in divination.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Hebrew and Jewish mystical traditions produced some of the most structured demonologies in history, with specific demons assigned to specific sins, hours, and vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Probably the most famous female demon name in the world, Lilith appears in Kabbalistic texts as Adam’s rebellious first wife who fled Eden and became a demon preying on newborns and men in their sleep. The name connects to the Hebrew word layil<\/em>meaning night, though its deeper roots may trace back to Lilitu. She has become a powerful symbol of feminine independence, which is why the name is now genuinely used for human children.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The demon of lust and wrath, Asmodeus appears in the Book of Tobit and in later Kabbalistic texts as one of the kings of the demonic realm. His name likely derives from the Avestan Aeshma Daeva<\/em> (the Zoroastrian demon of wrath) combined with the Hebrew shed<\/em> (demon). He is one of the few demons to appear by name in canonical scripture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Belial is one of the oldest demonic names in the Hebrew tradition, appearing throughout the Dead Sea Scrolls as the leader of the forces of darkness opposing the Sons of Light. The name is typically translated as “worthlessness” or “without worth,” from the Hebrew beli ya’al<\/em>. In the New Testament he is used as a name for Satan himself.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Azazel appears in the Book of Leviticus as the entity to whom the scapegoat was sent on Yom Kippur, and in the Book of Enoch as a fallen angel who taught humans forbidden knowledge of weapons and cosmetics. The name’s meaning is debated, “scapegoat,” “God strengthens,” or possibly “fierce god of the desert.” He became central to later demonic hierarchies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Abaddon is the Hebrew word for “destruction” or “the abyss,” appearing in the Book of Job and the Book of Revelation, where he is named as the angel of the bottomless pit. In Greek the same figure is called Apollyon. The name carries genuine gravitas and has been used as a given name in some communities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of four demon queens in Kabbalistic tradition, Agrat bat Mahlat was said to lead a retinue of 18,000 destructive spirits on certain nights. Her name means “daughter of Mahlat” in Aramaic and Hebrew. She is associated with the Wednesday and Saturday nights when demons were believed to roam freely.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In Kabbalistic demonology, Naamah is one of the four demon queens alongside Lilith, and her name means “pleasant” or “pleasing” in Hebrew, a deliberately unsettling contrast to her nature as a seducer and bringer of death. She appears in the Zohar as a daughter of Cain.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Samael is the “Venom of God” or “Poison of God” in Hebrew, a figure who appears in the Talmud and in Kabbalistic texts as the angel of death and a chief adversary. He is sometimes identified with Satan and sometimes treated as a distinct entity. His name has crossed over into use as a given name, particularly through fantasy fiction.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Greeks and Romans did not always draw a sharp line between demons and minor gods, but certain figures were understood as malevolent forces, spirits of suffering, or personifications of destruction.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Empusa was a shape-shifting demon in Greek mythology, a servant of Hecate who could take the form of a beautiful woman to lure and devour travelers. Her name is Greek, possibly connected to empousa<\/em>“one who enters on one leg” (she was said to have one leg of bronze and one of a donkey). She appears in Aristophanes and in later magical papyri.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mormo was a Greek bogeyman figure, a female demon used to frighten children, associated with Hecate and with creatures who bit naughty children. Her name gives us the word mormolykeia<\/em>a term for terrifying spirits. She was a genuine figure in ancient Greek religious fear.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lamia began as a Libyan queen who, after Zeus seduced her and Hera killed her children in jealousy, became a child-devouring demon. Her name is Greek and may relate to a word meaning “large shark” or “gullet.” She later became a class of demon (Lamiai) and her story influenced the later vampire tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the Harpies in Greek mythology, Aello’s name means “storm swift” or “whirlwind” from the Greek aella<\/em> (storm). The Harpies were winged spirits of sudden violent wind who snatched people and tormented them. Aello is attested in Hesiod’s Theogony.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another Harpy, Celaeno’s name means “the dark one” from the Greek kelain\u00f3s<\/em> (dark, black). She appears in Hesiod and Virgil, in the Aeneid serving as a prophet of doom. The name has a striking sound that has attracted modern use.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alecto is one of the three Furies (Erinyes) in Greek and Roman mythology, divine personifications of vengeance. Her name means “unceasing anger” or “she who does not rest” from the Greek a-<\/em> (not) and lego<\/em> (to cease). She and her sisters Megaera and Tisiphone pursued murderers and oath-breakers without mercy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The second of the Furies, Megaera’s name means “grudging” or “jealous anger” in Greek, from megairo<\/em>. She is specifically associated with the fury of jealousy and resentment. Her name gives the French word m\u00e9g\u00e8re<\/em>meaning a shrew or harridan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The third Fury, Tisiphone means “avenger of murder” from the Greek tisis<\/em> (vengeance) and phonos<\/em> (murder). She stands at the gates of Tartarus and punishes the guilty. A genuinely striking name with brutal clarity in its meaning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nemesis was the goddess and personification of retribution in Greek mythology, the divine force that punished hubris and brought the downfall of those who had too much good fortune. Her name comes from the Greek nemein<\/em>to give what is due. She is not simply a demon, but her role as the bringer of destruction and inescapable punishment places her firmly in this tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hecate (or Hekate) was the Greek goddess of witchcraft, crossroads, and the night, closely associated with ghosts and demons rather than being one herself. Her name’s etymology is debated, possibly from hekatos<\/em> meaning “far-reaching” or “worker from afar.” She became central to ancient and modern understandings of dark feminine power.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zoroastrianism produced one of the most systematic demonologies in the ancient world, opposing the forces of Ahura Mazda (truth) against the Daeva (demons) and Druj (the Lie).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ahriman (Angra Mainyu in Avestan) is the supreme evil spirit in Zoroastrianism, the embodiment of darkness, chaos, and destruction who stands in eternal opposition to Ahura Mazda. The name in its Middle Persian form means “evil spirit” or “destructive spirit.” He is the source of all suffering, death, and evil in the created world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aeshma is the Zoroastrian demon of wrath, rage, and violence, whose name in Avestan means exactly that: wrath. He is the direct ancestor of the Hebrew-Jewish Asmodeus. In the Avesta he is one of the most active and dangerous of the Daeva.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Druj is the Avestan word for “the Lie” and also the name of a class of female demons in Zoroastrianism who embody falsehood, corruption, and moral chaos. The name is related to the Sanskrit druh<\/em> (to harm). She appears as a specific demon in several Avestan texts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nasu is the Zoroastrian demon of death and decay, taking the form of a corpse fly that rushes to possess a dead body the moment life departs. Her name in Avestan means “corpse.” She is one of the most viscerally disturbing demons in any tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jahi is the Avestan demoness of licentiousness, whose name means “wanton woman” or “harlot” in the Avestan language. In the Bundahishn, she is the demon who revives Ahriman from his stupor by kissing him. She represents the defilement of the sacred feminine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sanskrit texts from the Vedas through the Puranas contain some of the most elaborately described demonic figures in world mythology, with detailed genealogies, powers, and stories.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ravana is the ten-headed demon king of Lanka in the Ramayana, one of the most complex demonic figures in any mythology: a brilliant scholar and devotee of Shiva who nonetheless committed the act of abducting Sita. His name in Sanskrit means “he who makes the universe scream” or “the roarer.” He is a figure of genuine terror and genuine tragedy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kali is the fearsome Hindu goddess of destruction, time, and transformation, whose name in Sanskrit means “the black one” or “she who is beyond time.” She is not simply a demon but is worshipped as a goddess; however, her iconography and role in destruction place her in this tradition, and her name is used as a given name across South Asia and the diaspora.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Vritra is the great Vedic serpent demon who obstructs the rivers and must be slain by Indra in the Rigveda. His name in Sanskrit means “the enveloper” or “the obstructor.” The battle between Indra and Vritra is one of the oldest mythological combat narratives in human history.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mahishasura is the buffalo demon of Hindu mythology, whose defeat by the goddess Durga is celebrated during Navratri and Dussehra. His name in Sanskrit combines mahisha<\/em> (buffalo) and asura<\/em> (demon). He is a symbol of ego and arrogance in Hindu philosophical thought.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tarakasura was a powerful Asura in Hindu mythology who could only be defeated by a son of Shiva, which sets in motion the divine marriage of Shiva and Parvati. His name means “demon Taraka” from the Sanskrit root meaning “one who crosses over” or “the deliverer.” His story drives much of the mythology of the god Kartikeya.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shumbha and his brother Nishumbha were powerful Asura kings whose defeat by the goddess Durga is recorded in the Devi Mahatmya. The name Shumbha in Sanskrit is connected to brilliance or beauty, an ironic quality for a demon king. Their story is one of the central texts of Shakta Hinduism.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Japanese mythology and folklore contain some of the most visually striking demonic figures in any tradition, with names that carry specific, evocative meanings rooted in Japanese and Sino-Japanese vocabulary.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oni are the iconic demons of Japanese folklore, enormous horned creatures who carry iron clubs and punish the wicked in the afterlife or terrorize the living. The word oni<\/em> is also used as a given name in Japan, though rarely. In Buddhist cosmology they serve as torturers in hell.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Raijin is the Japanese god of thunder and lightning, a fierce and fearsome deity often depicted as a demon-like figure surrounded by drums. His name combines rai<\/em> (thunder) and jin<\/em> (god or spirit). He is worshipped but also feared, and the sound of his drums was said to cause children to hide their navels.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fujin is Raijin’s companion, the god of wind, often depicted as a demon carrying a bag of winds. His name combines fu<\/em> (wind) and jin<\/em> (god). Like Raijin, he occupies the boundary between deity and demon in Japanese religious art.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shuten-doji was the most famous Oni king in Japanese legend, a demon who consumed human flesh and sake at his fortress on Mount Oe before being slain by the hero Minamoto no Raiko. His name means “drunken demon boy” from shuten<\/em> (sake-drinking) and doji<\/em> (boy or youth). He remains one of the great villains of Japanese mythology.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ibaraki-doji was the chief lieutenant of Shuten-doji, a female (in some versions) Oni of terrifying power who fought against Minamoto no Raiko. Her name means “demon child of Ibaraki,” referencing the region with which she was associated. She is one of the most famous female demons in Japanese tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The grimoires of medieval Europe, particularly the Lemegeton (Lesser Key of Solomon) and the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, recorded extensive catalogues of named demons with specific powers and ranks. These names were taken seriously as genuine spiritual entities by those who recorded them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bael is listed as the first and most powerful king of Hell in the Ars Goetia, said to command 66 legions of demons. His name likely connects to the ancient Semitic deity Baal, meaning “lord” or “master.” He was said to grant the power of invisibility.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Paimon is one of the Kings of Hell in the Ars Goetia, described as riding a dromedary and appearing with a crowned, feminine face. His name’s origin is debated, with some connecting it to Hebrew roots. He was said to teach all arts, sciences, and secrets of the earth, and his name gained enormous popular recognition through the 2018 film Hereditary<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marbas is listed in the Ars Goetia as a president of Hell who appears as a great lion. He was said to cause and cure diseases and reveal hidden things. The name’s origin is obscure but it is consistently recorded across multiple grimoire traditions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Valefor is a duke of Hell in the Ars Goetia, described as a lion with the head of a thief, who tempts people to steal. The name may derive from the Latin valor<\/em> or relate to older demonic name traditions. He commands ten legions in the infernal hierarchy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Amon (not to be confused with the Egyptian god Amun) appears in the Ars Goetia as a Marquis of Hell who appears as a wolf with a serpent’s tail. He was said to procure love and reconcile enemies. The name overlaps with but is distinct from the Egyptian deity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Barbatos is listed as an Earl and Duke of Hell who appears when the sun is in Sagittarius. He was said to speak the language of animals and reveal hidden treasure. His name may derive from the Latin barbatus<\/em>meaning “bearded.” He commands 30 legions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Buer is a president of Hell in the Ars Goetia, depicted as a five-legged wheel-like figure. He was said to teach philosophy, logic, and herbal medicine. His name has no clear etymology, which is typical of the more obscure Goetic demons.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gusion is listed as a Duke of Hell who appears as a baboon and can reveal the past and future. He was said to reconcile friendships and answer any question. The name’s origin is uncertain and appears primarily in the grimoire tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sitri is a Prince of Hell in the Ars Goetia who appears with a leopard’s face and griffin wings. He was said to inflame men and women with desire and to reveal secrets. The name may have roots in older Semitic traditions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beleth is a great King of Hell who rides a pale horse, preceded by musicians, and inspires love and lust. His name may connect to the Semitic root bel<\/em> (lord). He commands 85 legions and was said to be terrible to summon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Leraie (also Leraje) is a Marquis of Hell who appears as an archer wearing green and causes wounds from arrows to become infected. His name has no definitive etymology. He commands 30 legions of demons.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eligos is a Duke of Hell who appears as a handsome knight carrying a lance, flag, and viper. He was said to reveal hidden things and predict the outcomes of wars. The name may derive from the Latin eligo<\/em>meaning “to choose” or “to select.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zepar is listed as a Duke of Hell who inflames women with love and changes their shape to the desires of men. The name has no clear etymology but is consistently recorded. He commands 26 legions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Botis is a president and Earl of Hell who appears first as a serpent, then as a man with large teeth and two horns. He was said to reveal past and future and reconcile friends and foes. The name appears across multiple grimoire sources.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bathin is a Duke of Hell who appears as a strong man with a serpent’s tail riding a pale horse. He was said to know the properties of all herbs and precious stones and could transport men from one place to another. The name may derive from a Hebrew or Aramaic root.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sallos (also Saleos) is a Duke of Hell described as a handsome soldier riding a crocodile and wearing a ducal crown. He was said to promote love between men and women. The name is one of the more obscure Goetic entries, with uncertain etymology.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Purson is a King of Hell who appears as a man with a lion’s face, carrying a viper and riding a bear, preceded by trumpets. He was said to reveal hidden things, discover treasure, and answer questions about the past and future. The name may derive from the Latin persona<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marax (also Morax or Foraii) is a president and Earl of Hell appearing as a bull with a man’s face. He was said to teach astronomy, the liberal sciences, and give good familiars. The name may have roots in older Semitic or Latin traditions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ipos (also Ipes) is an Earl and Prince of Hell appearing with the body of an angel but the head of a lion and the tail of a hare. He was said to make men bold and witty. The name appears consistently in grimoire literature without a clear etymology.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aim (also Aym or Haborym) is a Duke of Hell who appears with three heads: a serpent, a man with two stars on his forehead, and a calf. He was said to set cities and castles on fire. The name in its shortest form is striking precisely because of its simplicity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Naberius (also Cerberus in some texts) is the most valiant Marquis of Hell, appearing as a three-headed dog or a black crane. He was said to restore lost dignities and make men cunning in all arts. The name likely derives from the Greek Cerberus, the three-headed hellhound.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Demonic figures appear in virtually every mythological tradition on earth. These names come from Egyptian, Celtic, Slavic, and other sources that don’t fit neatly into the categories above.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Apep (also Apophis) was the ancient Egyptian serpent demon of chaos and darkness, the eternal enemy of the sun god Ra. Each night Ra had to battle and defeat Apep to ensure the sun would rise again. The name is Egyptian and represents one of the oldest personifications of chaos in human history.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Set (also Seth) was the Egyptian god of chaos, storms, and the desert, who murdered his brother Osiris and was the embodiment of disorder in the Egyptian cosmos. His name is Egyptian, with no single agreed etymology, but his role as a demonic or adversarial figure is unambiguous. Set is also used as a given name.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ammit was the Egyptian devourer of hearts, a composite creature with the head of a crocodile, the forequarters of a lion, and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus. Souls whose hearts were found heavier than a feather were fed to her. Her name means “devourer of the dead” in Egyptian.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Morrigan is the Irish goddess of fate, war, and death, a shape-shifting figure who appears as a crow on the battlefield and presides over slaughter and doom. Her name in Old Irish likely means “great queen” or “phantom queen” from mor<\/em> (great\/phantom) and rigan<\/em> (queen). She is a goddess but functions as a terrifying demonic figure in the tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crom Cruach was an ancient Irish deity or demon to whom human sacrifices were reportedly made before the arrival of Christianity. The name in Old Irish means “the bent one of the mound” or “the bloody crouching one.” He is one of the most fearsome figures in pre-Christian Irish tradition.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chernobog is the Slavic god of darkness and evil, whose name means “black god” from the Slavic cherno<\/em> (black) and bog<\/em> (god). He is attested in medieval sources as the evil counterpart to Belobog (the white god). He appeared memorably in Disney’s Fantasia<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you are here for fiction, gaming, or a genuinely bold baby name, the most important thing is to understand what you are actually choosing. A name like Lilith or Samael has a documented history that will follow it, and that is part of the appeal. A name like Tisiphone or Aeshma is far more obscure, which gives you the mythology without the immediate cultural baggage.<\/p>\n For characters and worldbuilding, match the name to the tradition your story draws from. A Japanese setting calls for names from that tradition; a medieval European setting has a completely different register. Mixing traditions carelessly tends to produce names that feel arbitrary rather than atmospheric.<\/p>\n For baby names, the names that have genuinely crossed over into mainstream use are the ones that have shed most of their demonic associations: Lilith is now a top-200 name in several countries, Hecate and Alecto are used by parents who know their mythology, and Kali is a traditional given name across South Asia with no stigma attached. If you are drawn to something further down the list, consider how it will land in a school register.<\/p>\n For pet names, the rules are much simpler: the more dramatic, the better. Pazuzu, Morrigan, and Asmodeus are all genuinely excellent names for a cat who acts like it owns you.<\/p>\n Whatever you choose, knowing the real story behind the name is what makes it meaningful rather than merely edgy. Every demon name on this list comes from a tradition where people were genuinely afraid, genuinely trying to understand the nature of evil, and genuinely believed names had power. That history is worth respecting, even if what you are naming is a black-and-white kitten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Demon names have fascinated humans for millennia, not just as warnings, but as windows into how ancient cultures understood evil, chaos, and the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":510,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"lfe_reviewer":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,179],"class_list":["post-511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-baby-name-lists","tag-baby-name-lists","tag-demon-names"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":512,"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511\/revisions\/512"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ponly.com\/names\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Lamashtu<\/h3>\n
