Dead name?

So I tried some forum searches. I don’t know why but I feel stupid for asking this.

I am reading the necromancer by Connor Kendall and it mentions “your dead name”

My two questions are what are dead names and how do you know what your’s is if you already have one, I’m honestly not knowledgeable on the premise of what a “dead name” is completely. Thanks! And I know I just literally posted but yeah.

I’m actually curious about this subject as well.

What’s the difference between a dead name and a true name?

The dead name is actually explained in the book my friend
