An author's true name is simply the name written on their birth certificate, marriage certificate, and/or the name written on the court order name change.

If you are referring to the name authors sometimes use as not to reveal their true identity, that would be a pseudonym. It is also known as pen-name or nom de plume, which is French for the same.

The true name of an author is the name they were given at birth, which may differ from the pen name or pseudonym they use professionally to publish their works.
