What pen name did Charles Lutwidge Dodgson use for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson used the pen name Lewis Carroll for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The book was published in 1865 under that pseudonym, while Dodgson continued to publish mathematical and scholarly work under his real name.

The name was built from a playful transformation of his given names. Charles became Carolus in Latin and then Carroll in English; Lutwidge was rendered as Ludovicus and then Lewis. Dodgson reversed the order and adapted the forms to create “Lewis Carroll.” Editor Edmund Yates selected it from several names Dodgson proposed.

The story began with a boating outing on 4 July 1862, when Dodgson entertained Alice Liddell and her sisters with an improvised tale. He later developed the story into a book, illustrated by John Tenniel. A frequent mix-up is to identify Tenniel as the author: he illustrated the first edition, but Lewis Carroll was the literary pen name of Dodgson.
