In Assassin's Creed III, what is the birth name of the protagonist commonly called Connor?

The story behind the answer

In Assassin's Creed III, the protagonist commonly called Connor was born Ratonhnhaké:ton.

Ratonhnhaké:ton is a Kanien'kehá:ka man whose story unfolds during the American Revolution. He adopts the name Connor in part to make interactions with colonial society easier, and the game uses both names in different contexts. His mother is Kaniehtí:io, while his father is Haytham Kenway, creating a direct family link to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

Connor's narrative follows his training under Achilles Davenport and his involvement in the conflict between the Assassins and Templars. The name is sometimes written without its diacritics in informal references, but “Ratonhnhaké:ton” is the canonical form used for the character. Connor is therefore a chosen public name rather than his birth name.
