The real name of Mark Twain is Samuel Langhorne Clemens. He adopted the pen name “Mark Twain” during his time as a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River. The term “mark twain” was a riverboat term that referred to a measurement of two fathoms (12 feet), which was considered a safe depth for river navigation. Twain became one of the most famous American writers, known for works like “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”
