A character chooses an alias by translating their name into some foreign language, which may be lampshaded as uninspired. See also You Are the Translated Foreign Word. If the character's name is changed because the work itself is being translated into a foreign language, it's a Dub Name Change. When a character or family emigrates to a new country and changes their name permanently, it's a Naturalized Name. If a name isn't translated but just pronounced more fancily, that's Pretentious Pronunciation. |

In The Colour of Magic, an alternate-universe version of Twoflower was named "Zweiblumen". Rincewind was changed to "Rjinswan", but that apparently isn't an actual translation of anything. There is, however, Rincewind's possible Ephebian ancestor Lavaeolus, which is pseudo-Latin for... 'rincer' of wind. This gets flipped in the German version, where Twoflower's name is Zweiblum. The alternate-universe Zweiblum is named Twoflower. "Rijn" (not Rjin) is Dutch for Rhine, and "swan" means, well, swan. This name having a "real" meaning is most likely coincidence. |

As in the quote above, Bowen in Dragonheart gives the dragon the name "Draco" - Dragon in Latin. Interesting in that Draco himself objects rather loudly to being called "dragon", but has no problem with the name "Draco", even feeling honoured by the name, because it is the name of the constellation of stars revered by dragons as their own heaven. | |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: In Timewyrm: Exodus, the Doctor translates his occasional makeshift identity of "Dr John Smith" into German, presenting himself as "Dr Johann Schmidt". Hitler's advisor Dr Kriegslieter, meanwhile, turns out to be the War Chief. The Master continues to use translations of "Master" as aliases, including "Inspector LeMaitre" (Last of the Gaderene) and "Duke Dominus" (the short story "The Duke of Dominoes"). In The Quantum Archangel, the Master poses as a Serbian businessman called "Gospodar", prompting the Sixth Doctor to wonder if he's "running out of languages". |

In Double Agent Vader, Vader's Rebel codename is "Ekkreth", which is "Skywalker" in the Amatakka language; it suits Anakin Skywalker's sense of humor to tell his allies (and any enemies who learn of the rebel agent Ekkreth) exactly who he is in a language none of them understand. In a bit of a twist, Amatakka is a local Tatooine language that Anakin grew up speaking, and "Ekkreth" is his family's actual surname that got translated as "Skywalker" when they had to deal with outsiders who didn't speak the language. | |

Trickster, enemy of The Flash, was born Giovanni Giuseppe but at some point anglicized it as James Jesse. Note that a "straight" transliteration of his birth name would actually be "John Joseph"- he most likely chose his new name deliberately as an homage to the Old West outlaw Jesse James. | |

On the Dream SMP, upon initiation into the now-dissolved faction of El Rapids, characters were often called by their names translated into Spanish to signify their membership in the faction. Those with names that don't directly translate across (mainly because of the use of Screen Names) usually have the title "Señor" tacked in front of their names.note To clarify, the usage of the masculine title isn't due to misogyny, but because there weren't a lot of women on the server in the first place to give the feminine title to. Mexican Dream, a mysterious entity associated with the faction, also had a tendency to address characters with their names in Spanish, even if they weren't part of El Rapids. | |

A fictional example of Latinization is Phineas Nigellus in Harry Potter. Niger is Latin for "black". Although in-universe that's not so much Latinisation as Anglicisation, as Phineas Nigellus is an ancestor of the Black family. | |

Doctor Who Magazine: In "Instruments of War", the 12th Doctor enters Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's tent, flashing his psychic paper and announcing himself as Dr. Johann Schmidt, the German version of his Go-to Alias of 'Dr. John Smith'. As it happens, Rommel is one of the people strong-minded enough to resist the psychic paper's effect, but enough weird stuff is going on that a madman waving an empty wallet in his face barely registers. | |

Discworld: Lily Weatherwax in Witches Abroad went by the name of Lillith Tempscire (a literal translation of weatherwax in French). In Maskerade, Henry Slugg goes by the name Enrico Basilica. In The Colour of Magic, an alternate-universe version of Twoflower was named "Zweiblumen". Rincewind was changed to "Rjinswan", but that apparently isn't an actual translation of anything. There is, however, Rincewind's possible Ephebian ancestor Lavaeolus, which is pseudo-Latin for... 'rincer' of wind. This gets flipped in the German version, where Twoflower's name is Zweiblum. The alternate-universe Zweiblum is named Twoflower. "Rijn" (not Rjin) is Dutch for Rhine, and "swan" means, well, swan. This name having a "real" meaning is most likely coincidence. The Truth has a subtle one which achieves a Shout-Out. The Dwarf who sets up a printing press business in the city is called Goodmountain. In his native Ãœberwald it would have been Gutenberg. Many dwarfs have Luke Nounverber names in English/Morporkian. It's confirmed that these names are translated from Dwarfish in Feet of Clay; apparently Cheery Littlebottom's surname is a translation of the Dwarfish "Sh'rt'azs". |

Buso Renkin: Before he became a humanoid hommunculus and took on the name Papillon, French for butterfly, the character had the family name of Chouno. The "chou" is Japanese for butterfly, the "no" is just there to make it a surname. His grandfather had the same surname, and opted to just translate it, naming himself Doctor Butterfly. | |

In Iron Man: Armored Adventures, Tony Stark mentions his family's last name was Starkovic before they came to the United States, though it was 'like seven generations ago'. Since his mother's name is Maria Carbonelli and according to Howard wanted to name him Antonio, Tony's first name may itself be a case of Americanizing a foreign name. There's also Temugin Khan, who, having moved countries three times, was Temugin in Mongolia, Tian Jin in China, and Gene in the United States, although Depending on the Writer Temugin may still be his legal first name in the United States, rendering Gene a localization of sorts. |

It's common for Dungeons & Dragons characters to have last names with an Adjective-Noun structure (Goldmoon, Brightaxe, etc.), although they tend to be in Common (English) regardless of what language the character speaks natively. Apparently D&D characters translate their names into whatever language they're speaking at the moment. | |

Kung Fu Panda: Master Oogway's name is an Anglicisation of "Ugui", which is Mandarin Chinese for "Tortoise". The Furious Five are all named after the animal they are, which is also the fighting style they use. Shifu means "Teacher", Tai-Lung is "Great Dragon" (great as in huge and terrifying), and Po means "Precious" or "Favourite" (read: chosen). |

At one point in Steven Universe, Steven and the Gems need to infiltrate a Gem facility. Steven suggests disguises, calling himself "Esteban Universidad", despite his name not mattering to any of the gems running it. Amusingly, his translation is wrong, as it's actually equivalent to "Steven University". ("Universe" in Spanish would be universo.) | |

"The Deaf Man" is a recurring villain in the 87th Precinct novels by Ed McBain, and he always uses aliases that are some play on 'deaf' in a foreign language. These have included Mort Orrechio (Italian for "dead ear"), L. Sordo ('el sordo') and Herr Taubmann. And he likes to call Detective Steve Carella and say something like "You'll have to speak up. I'm a little hard of hearing." Even though he's worn a hearing aid in public, it's anyone's guess whether he really has a hearing problem. | |

French food conglomerate Danone operates in the US as Dannon, a presumably more English-sounding name. The Danone name change was for phonetic reasons. If an American were to read Danone aloud they'd say Dan-On-Ee or Dan-One or some variation. In French, Danone sounds (almost) exactly like the American pronunciation of Dannon. Hence they maintained the phonetics of their original name by altering the spelling to fit the phonetics of another language, emphasizing the sound of the brand name over its written form. It makes sense, as you can enter a store and ask for Danone/Dannon and be understood, accent or no accent. In theory. Similarly, the Japanese Kashio is Casio in the US. And in fiction, Gojira became Godzilla. In an obscure and further example of the trope, Danone was originally founded by Isaac Carasso in Barcelona (Spain) in 1919 and was named after his son Daniel, who used the nickname "Danon" (which sounds in Spanish the same as "Danone" sounds in French and "Dannon" in US English). Even before moving to France, the brand used the form Danone because it looked classier. Similarly, the food chain Chef Boyardee is owned by the Boiardi family. They changed the spelling to keep the pronunciation clear. The Bic brand of ballpoint pen was developed by a Frenchman whose last name was Bich (the problems this would cause when marketed in the Anglosphere should be obvious, Bich). Hence, the brand name was changed so that the pronunciation would stay the same. In an interesting case, the company did not change the name for the German market. Even advertisment has succumbed to the fact that all germans pronounce the company as Dan-On-Ee and most germans that go out of country react confused when seeing a brand they are familiar with, just to hear that person "mess up" the pronounciation. |

At one point, Arthur offers his old friend Caius a lordship in Britain if he leaves the legion, explaining his name would become Kay, just like his hornblower. Caius is not thrilled to be associated with a mere hornblower. |

Afterwards she ends up joining them, with Chisato insisting she tell them her real name, claiming that "Walnut is the name of a dead man". Eventually Walnut begrudgingly gives the name "Kurumi", which Chisato points out is walnut in Japanese. Interestingly, this seems to be an alias derived from an alias, rather than her real name. Kurumi is clearly very young, but the elite hacker known as "Walnut" has been around for atleast 30 years, and has seemingly died multiple times, so it's likely some sort of legacy. | |

The main character of Rock-A-Doodle is named Chanticleer - which is the name of a rooster in the Reynard the Fox tales, and has become a French byword for "rooster". Evidently he's supposed to be the same one, but you'd be forgiven for not knowing that from watching the movie. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Subverted in one case, where a daemon was using the True Name of a Space Wolf squad against them. However, as it was pulling their names from the mind of someone accompanying them, it couldn't control one (Bjorn, later Bjorn the Fell-Handed) as it continually called him "Bear" instead. Kharn the Betrayer's name is close to the Arabic word for traitor (khayin), although it as probably chosen for its similarity with carnage and Khorne. |

In most continuities of The Punisher, Frank Castle changed his name from "Castiglione" to "Castle" when he signed onto his third tour of Vietnam. This would later inform his choice of aliases, most of which are transliterations of his original surname (meaning "Fortification") being rendered into English as "Fort, Rook, Tower, Stronghold" etc. | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor himself has used the names "Doctor von Wer" ("The Highlanders") and "the Great Wizard Quiquaequod" ("The Dæmons"), although this is clearly a coincidence since his name isn't "Who". "Quiquaequod" was a name given to him by another character, which definitely makes that one a coincidence (it's the masculine, feminine, and neuter forms of the word 'who' in Latin combined). More likely "von Wer" is intentional on the Doctor's part, given he uses 'WHO' on his car's registration plates. Why he does it is anyone's guess. Until he gives us this gem to question if that really is his name... The Master used "Reverend Magister" in "The Dæmons" and "Professor Thascalos" in "The Time Monster". His later incarnations preferred Significant Anagrams or Paper Thin Disguises like Colonel Masters. Played for a dramatic reveal in "A Good Man Goes to War", when it turns out that River Song's name is actually the closest approximation, in the language of the Forest People, of Melody Pond. See, it's a pretty simple language, so obviously "Melody" becomes "Song", and they don't quite have a word that means "Pond" because "The only water in the forest is the river..." Additionally, the reason the name is reversed is because it was stitched on a piece of cloth with the first and last names on different sides. So it's pretty easy to mess up which one is which. Also, it ends up being irrelevant, as the first time she hears the name "River Song" is when the Doctor mentions it. |

In Asterix, whenever any Gaul has to disguise himself as a member of another nationality they just replace the -ix in their name with the appropriate suffix. In the first story a Roman spy named Caligula Minus disguised himself as a Gaul and called himself Caliguliminix. When Asterix and Obelix disguise themselves as Roman legionarii, they use the names "Asterus" and "Obelus"... In Asterix and Son, a Roman named Odoriferus infiltrates the Gaulish village under the name Aromatix. |

The stage name of the singer Gotye (real name Wouter "Wally" De Backer) is a roundabout example of this. Gotye is a phonetic spelling of the French name Gautier, of which Wouter is the Dutch form (and Walter the English form). Since he was born in Belgium, it's likely he was actually called that before his family moved to Australia. | |

Commando. A British officer by the name of Taylor is revealed to be a German spy who says his real name is "Schneider" which, he points out, is German for tailor. The man he's revealing this to exclaims: "Schneider, Taylor—of course!" as if that's somehow significant—it's not like he'd heard the spy's German name before. | |

In Marvel 1602, an Alternate Universe taking place in the year, you guessed it, 1602, Captain America (aka Steve Rogers) is actually from a dystopian future of the normal 616 timeline, but was sent back by the evil "President-For-Life" to get rid of him. He is taken in by a local Native American tribe and takes on the name Rojhaz, which isn't actually a word in any Native American language, but it would sound enough like one to the new European settlers to pass as one. (Of course, these are the same people who manage to Hand Wave the fact that he is apparently a blond-haired, blue-eyed Native American, so perhaps he needn't have tried so hard.) The series also includes characters 'local' to 1602 whose names would be this trope if they were aliases, like Carlos Javier (Charles Xavier), Roberto Trefusis (Bobby Drake), Hal McCoy (Hank McCoy) and Scotius Summerisle (Scott Summers). Magneto's name, "Enrique", is probably the biggest offender. (Although it's not his birth name. It was given to him when he was abducted from the ghetto and forcibly converted to Christianity.) Also notable is Peter Parquagh. In Spider-Man 1602, it's revealed that his real name is Peter Parker, but as an apprentice to Queen Elizabeth's agent Nicholas Fury, he was advised to change the spelling so it sounded French because "Parker" is Scottish and Queen Elizabeth had no love of the Scots after dealing with Mary Queen of Scots. Who was also a former queen of France. Not to mention that "Parker" is English outside the world of 1602 and Elizabeth had no problems with the Scots after they deposed Mary. |

In "Mr. Simonelli or The Fairy Widower", one of the stories in The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories, Mr. Simonelli's name, Giorgio Alessandro Simonelli, is entirely based on this trope. Simonelli's mother was seduced or raped by one of the Fair Folk, and because of the Fairy's unusual complexion and facial features, she believed that he was a foreigner, likely an Italian. Thus, when her father raised the child following her Death by Childbirth, he named him by taking his own name, George Alexander Simon, and translating each part into Italian equivalents. | |

Empires SMP Season 2: This trope is mainly used in regard to Sausage's unnamed kingdom of origin and Sanctuary, its refugee-built successor, as both regions' architectural style and culture are based on Latin America. Most of the residents of Sanctuary have Spanish names, and Sausage sometimes switches between their names in Spanish and English. Sausage himself does so indirectly by naming his Elytra-wings "El Chorizo Volador", i.e. "The Flying Chorizo".note The Spanish word for 'sausage' has feminine grammatical gender, so a direct translation isn't advisable. The previously-unnamed sunflower deity venerated in Sausage's old kingdom is honoured as "Santa Perla" in Sanctuary. However, that in itself is a Spanish translation; the original historical figure who became Santa Perla was the Farmer Queen PearlescentMoon of Gilded Helianthia (from Season 1 of the series), who spoke English/Common and not Spanish. Sausage uses both the original English and translated Spanish names interchangably for the most part. |

In War and Peace, Pierre Bezukhov, as part of calculating the Number of the Beast, uses the name l'Russe Besuhof, which is just "th'Russian Bezukhov". Please note, even "Pierre Bezukhov" is an example of this trope - his Russian first name is Pyotr. At the time Tolstoy was writing most business in the Russian court was conducted in French as a result of their national Western European fandom, so the first names of his higher-class characters get translated back and forth a lot, depending upon who's speaking. | |

Transformers comic artist Pat Lee translated his name into Japanese katakana. However, rather than properly translate it, he used a letter replacement font without knowing how katakana works, resulting in 'Michiyamenotehi Funana'. After the fandom dug up an old website of his featuring the katakana, it became a mocking nickname. | |

The Captain America villain the Red Skull often Anglicizes his birth name, Johann Schmidt, into John Smith as a disguise (though he has used dozens of others). The opposite was done in Alistair MacLean's 1967 WWII thriller novel (and the 1968 film version) Where Eagles Dare, where SOE commando Major John Smith talks his way past his Gestapo captors using his cover identity of Major Johann Schmidt of SS Military Intelligence. | |
