A moniker is a nickname or an alternate name for a person, place, or thing. It is often used in informal contexts or among close acquaintances. While the term 'nickname' is most commonly used, 'moniker' can also refer to pseudonyms or aliases used in various settings such as online platforms, entertainment industries, or even in artistic communities. A moniker can reflect personal attributes, characteristics, or even historical or cultural significances. The use of monikers can serve purposes ranging from privacy and identity protection to simply expressing personality or personal branding.
