throne name
Ruler's official name
A throne name is the official name a monarch adopts upon taking power, often different from their birth name.
Popes similarly take throne names upon election.
The practice allows rulers to signal continuity with predecessors or invoke historical associations: Elizabeth was her birth name, but many monarchs adopt throne names that connect them to dynastic tradition.
