secret name
Covert personal label
A secret name is a name known only to a select few, often carrying special power or intimacy.
In folklore and religion, knowing someone's secret name grants influence over them—gods, demons, and fairies guard their true names.
More mundanely, a secret name might be a private nickname between lovers or a pseudonym used to evade detection: She published under a secret name to avoid her family's scrutiny.
