Explanation

name =

The real name of the person in question; in case of doubt, the true or correct civil name (e.g. "Anastasius Focht" was an assumed name of the man whose real name was Frederick Steiner; in this case, the "Name" would be Frederick Steiner and "othernames" would list his well-known alias). In some cases, a person may only be known under an assumed name; in this case, put "Unknown" into this field.

othernames =

Known aliases or appellations for the person in question.
