The Emperor tells no one his name as knowledge of a persons name grants you power over them.

The Doctor has a name though, a Gallifreyan one. The Doctor is his title and he uses that as his name now because he fixes things.

He won't let anyone know his name, it's his biggest (second biggest?) secret. Like the Emperor, he adopted a title and became nothing but that. The Doctor was the Doctor long before he started fixing things.

Emperor had a normal childhood in ancient Anatolia, his name was from there and is of little significance. He is only the Emperor now.

He was "born" in Anatolia, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had an ancient Turkish name.

Yes, born indeed to a normal primitive human mother that had no idea that her son would outlive them all and be the master of mankind... only to get it all wrong at the end and be a cripple corpse on a throne with no way of escaping or healing.
So sad.

Its 8.000 BC.
Anatolia is the name we know, Turks may live there, but 10 millenia ago?
IMO GW just grabbed a region they heard of really ancient ruins... and placed him there.
The Emperor doesn't need a name given by one of the specialists of naming at GW .

I for one endorse the last reincarnation of the Doctor theory.
Truth be told, it's the kind of character development I could actually see happening over a long-enough timescale, and one the show has been developing towards for some time. Now all we need is a chapter of Cool Marines with fezes and bowties.

Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.

Just like the Custodians take multiple names the Emperor has taken every name of the multiple shamans he was reincarnated from, as his own.
Where else do you think the Custodians got the idea from in the first place, right?

It can't be... The Emperor isn't quite dead yet. In fact I think he wants to go for a walk...

Clearly his name is For. The say "For, the Emperor" many more times than "In, the name of the Emperor". In is just a nickname 
He's also heavily alluded to be St. George the Dragon-slayer.
For.. Slightly mistranslated THOR?
The Emperor is the basis for one of the Norse gods?
