Darth

"Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth&hellip; Vader."

- Darth Sidious, upon making Anakin Skywalker his new apprentice

Darth was a title given to the Dark Lords of the Sith Order, which preceded a moniker different from the birth name. The Sith names of Palpatine, Dooku and Anakin Skywalker were Darth Sidious, Darth Tyranus and Darth Vader. The title was already in use about one millennium before the Clone Wars, when Darth Bane created the Rule of Two. In at least one known case, that of Anakin Skywalker, the Darth moniker was chosen by the master of the newly-christened Sith.
