Your Definition
Abbreviation for "also known as," useful when defining terms that are known under two or more names: Shortwave radio, a/k/a World Band radio; or Taiwan a/k/a Formosa. Also pseudonyms vis-a-vis given names: [Victoria Beckham] a/k/a Victoria Adams and Posh Spice. A simplified use has more recently emerged: simply to type the letters. omitting the slashes (a/k/a "virgules") in between -- it is rare that anyone would confuse "aka" with a word called something like "akk-uh" and "aka" is easier to type: David Johansen aka Buster Poindexter. Reginald Dwight aka Elton John. But both spellings are currently in use: Do you have any biographical [information] about writer [George Orwell], a/k/a (or aka) Eric Blair? Although an abbreviation, note that no period is required. .
