aliases

An alias is an alternative name or label used in place of a primary name to make things easier to identify or remember. For example, in computing, an alias might be a shortcut or nickname for a longer command, simplifying tasks. In other contexts, a person might have an alias as a pseudonym or stage name. Aliases help streamline communication, enhance privacy, or provide convenience, allowing people or systems to refer to the same entity in a more manageable or context-appropriate way.
