In Assassin's Creed III, what is Connor's Kanien'kehá:ka birth name?

The story behind the answer

Connor's Kanien'kehá:ka birth name in Assassin's Creed III is Ratonhnhaké:ton.

Ratonhnhaké:ton is the name of the character commonly called Connor, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III. He is the son of Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io, and he grows up in a Kanien'kehá:ka community before becoming involved in the Assassin-Templar conflict.

The name reflects the character's identity within his mother's community, while “Connor” is the English name he uses in colonial society. The game presents both names because his story moves between Indigenous, colonial, and revolutionary worlds.

This answer is often confused with Kaniehtí:io, Connor's mother, or with Haytham Kenway, his father. Spelling and pronunciation can also vary in informal references because the name uses orthography associated with the Kanien'kéha language. Assassin's Creed III was released in 2012.
