Aka

AKA is the acronym for Also Known As.

An example would be Superman aka Clark Kent.

It's usually used to either reveal the real name of a person known to the public by a pseudonym (e.g. many artists are known by their pseudonyms) or to show alternative names a person has used (some authors choose to publish by different names when targetting different audiences)
