Yeah, but why was Mark Twain called Mark Twain?

I know the history behind Bic, and I'm going to read about the Pen Island (i hope that's the name ), but I don't know why Mark Twain is Mark Twain

BIC was founded in France by Marcel Bich with Edouard Buffard in 1945. The two bought a factory and set up a business making parts for mechanical pencils and fountain pens. In December 1950, Marcel Bich introduced his own ballpoint pen, and named it the BIC. The 'h' from Bich was dropped in order to avoid a potentially inappropriate English pronunciation of the name

Richard Bachman (Stephen King's pseudonym)

At the beginning of Stephen King's career, the general view among publishers was such that an author was limited to a book every year at the utmost; any more, it was felt, was not acceptable to the public. King therefore wanted to write under another name in order to double his production. He convinced his publisher, Signet Books, to print these novels under a pseudonym. The originally selected pseudonym was Gus Pillsbury; but at the last moment King changed it to "Richard Bachman" in tribute to crime author Donald E. Westlake's long-running pseudonym Richard Stark. The name Stark was used in King's novel The Dark Half, a novel about an author with a pseudonym. The surname was in honour of Bachman-Turner Overdrive, a rock and roll band King was listening to at the time.

As for Mark Twain, it stands for "two fathoms." It was a Mississippi River boating term used to convey the water depth was safe.

Mark Twain. Twain is a term for shallow water, Samuel Langhorne Clemens worked on a steamboat on the Mississippi, before becoming a writer. So Mark Twain - Mark shallow water
