Nomen mysticum

Nomen mysticum is a Latin term meaning "mystical name". It is the name that a member of a mystical organization is given once they are a confirmed member of that organization.[1]

Initiation

Usually the secret name is not given to the neophyte directly, but only after the completion of initiation. The connection between the initiation and the presentation of a secret name is considered a rite of passage by most esoteric orders. It is understood that the process represents the mystery of rebirth.
