An alias is a fake name. People often use aliases when they are committing a crime or doing something they are not supposed to be doing. So police will record all of a suspect's or criminal's aliases so they will be easier to find. But aliases can be used for privacy reasons too.

An author's use of an alias is called a pseudonym.

Example: "After a few months, I disliked the alias I made to use on a website forum."

Facebook expects members to use their real names, not aliases.

There are various aliases in programming languages. The Alias keyword in computer languages is used to help when using code written in several different languages, since those other languages may use names and symbols that are illegal to use in others. So you use the Alias keyword to assign an illegal name a name that is valid in that language so it can be called by the code.
