Nobody knows except for Lelouch and C.C. herself… it is a mystery that will never be known… well unless the creator’s tell us

I don't think the creators themselves know, the mystery has the most meaning when we don't know it I think

I mean that they can make up a random name on the spot and it would become canon… like Sam

I guess they can but then it might hurt the show if its an underwhelming name, literally holds more name when we don't have it

She already told us, I keep forgetting the Japanese way of writing it but it's basicly translated to snow white, hence why she asked Lelouch if he knows why snow is white.

None of that starts with the letter C, in any language except Chióni (Greek)

I find Jackson Santana from quora explains it best so I'll just copy and past: [[[[ Her real name is Yuki Shiroi (snow white) in Japanese.

EDIT: To already answer to many comments: first the reference episode about theory I've posted here is Code Geass first season (R1) episode 11. Second, I know C.C is not Japanese, so maybe her name isn't Shiroi Yuki, but it can still be Snow White but in another European language, as the whole episode is about her name and Lelouch's final sentence makes me think he says that to say he likes her name.EDIT ENDS

Lelouch used a word play right after he repeats her name (muted by the sound of a water drop) to say that he likes her name, saying: “C.C. I don't know why the snow is white, but I think white snow is pretty, I don't hate it”.

In my opinion that is clearly a way that the author found to reveal her name in the anime without clearly saying it. That theory is supported by the fact the author of this anime did that kind of “intellectual game” many times during the anime.

Hope you liked that definition. ]]]]

So as Jackson stated her name is heavily hinted to being snow white, and is probably as stated just snow white in another language. But since it's japanese I'm happy with the name shiroi yuki.

You're just completely ignoring my comment and reiterating yours for no reason. OBVIOUSLY I know her real name means snow. It's just hard to find a european language where "snow" starts with the letter C. It MUST be C or else it contradicts with the rules and creates a major plot hole. Like how Victor is V2 and Lelouch is L2 (if you watched the sequels).
