His "real" name and title are never provided in the books. Under the construct that he is sharing a possibly true story that was related to him, the author, Edgar Rice Burroughs, states in Chapter 1 of the first novel, "Tarzan of the Apes," that he will identify the characters with fictional names to protect the identities of the people in the story. At any rate, no mention is ever made in the story that Tarzan was named by his parents before they were killed. When living in human society, the Tarzan character goes by the same name and title assigned to his father by Burroughs: John Clayton, Lord Greystoke. In the "mangani" ape language created by Burroughs for the stories, "Tarzan" means "white skin," being a reference to the difference between his skin color and that of the other members of his adoptive ape troop.
