when writing a paper using the APA style, how do you use the abbreviation \"AKA\" when listing a bunch of names and dates. Like Jesus of Nazareth a.k.a. Jesus Christ (7B.C. to 33A.D.) and Temujin aka Genghis Khan (1155-1227), etc.?. Do you put the aka in parenthesis (with or without the dates) or before the parenthesis with the dates?

You should use aka or “also known as" exclusively for people who have other names that are not commonly known. On the other hand, APA addresses format not style. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
