I believe the answer is:

aka

(Other definitions for aka that I've seen before include "Using the byline" , "Also called (abbrev.)" , "Notation indicating alias or other name" , "Notation indicating alternative name - palindrome" , "Also known as, initially" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
