What name is given to Connor Kenway in Assassin's Creed III's Mohawk heritage?

The story behind the answer

Ratonhnhaké:ton is the Mohawk name of Connor Kenway in Assassin's Creed III.

The character is born Ratonhnhaké:ton to a Kanien'kehá:ka mother, Kaniehtí:io, and the English Templar Haytham Kenway. After becoming an Assassin, he uses the name Connor Kenway in colonial society, creating the dual identity used throughout the game.

Assassin's Creed III is set primarily in the American colonies during the American Revolution. Connor becomes involved with the Assassin Brotherhood and fights to protect his community while navigating conflicts involving the British, revolutionary forces, and the Templars.

Connor is not simply another name for Haytham. Haytham is his father and the game's opening playable character. Kaniehtí:io is Connor's mother, while Achilles Davenport is the retired Assassin who trains him. The diacritic-rich spelling reflects the character's Kanien'kehá:ka identity.
