The answer is: false.

A pseudonym is a name that a single person or a collective may assume for very different purposes, like protecting or concealing one´s own identity, or the collective´s identity.

A pseudonym can include pennames (for authors in the arts), usernames, nicknames, and aliases, amongst other less common usages.

The word derives from the Greek, meaning, literally, “false name”.
