His "real" name and title are never given. 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 characters with fictional identities to protect the identities of the people in the story. No mention is ever made in the story that Tarzan was named by his parents before they were killed. When living in human society, Tarzan is referred to by the same name and title assigned to his father by Burroughs: John Clayton, Lord Greystoke."
