A true name is an identifier for a person that is closely tied with their essence.
True names can be used by demons and other magic users to control people.[1]. Lower level demons can also be controlled with their true names, but higher level demons would only be persuaded. A demon's true name can be used to summon them instantly.[2]
While a person may have many names, only one at a time can be their true name. A person's true name is usually the name they are given at birth, but certain circumstances can change one's true name into something that feels more representative of their being.[3][4] Souls additionally have a name that is attributed to them while they are between incarnations or haven't yet been assigned a name after birth.[5][6]
