What was the birth name of Assassin's Creed III hero known as Connor?

The story behind the answer

The birth name of Assassin's Creed III hero known as Connor is Ratonhnhaké:ton.

Ratonhnhaké:ton is the Kanien'kehá:ka name of the character who later uses the English name Connor. He is the playable protagonist of Assassin's Creed III, which is set during the American Revolution and surrounding events in the eighteenth century.

The character is the son of Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io. He grows up in the Kanien'kehá:ka village of Kanatahséton and later adopts the name Connor to make communication easier when he enters the colonial world. His Native name remains central to his identity and background.

The spelling includes punctuation and diacritics used in the game's presentation, so it is often simplified or misspelled in casual references. Kaniehtí:io is Connor's mother, not his birth name, and Haytham is his father.
