Where does the trope of having power over something if you know its true name come from?
That's interesting. Can you give me an example?
Sure. In many cultures, the true name of a god or goddess was kept secret, as the belief was that anyone who knew the true name could control that deity. In some Native American cultures, individuals were given secret names that only they knew, and it was believed that knowing someone's secret name gave you great power over them.
