He had used many other pen names when he wrote humorous articles for various newpapers. First of all, bad answer. You are probably refering to the year.

'Mark Twain' is derived from a riverboat expression ("By the mark, twain!"), meaning the water is two fathoms deep, which was a safe depth for the Mississippi steamboats of the time" Twain, Mark. "Mark Twain."The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. 1st. 1997. I may be wrong on publication.
