The term "deadname" refers to the birth name of a transgender person that they no longer use after transitioning or changing their name. The structure is a compound where "dead" indicates something no longer active or valid, and "name" refers to the given name at birth. It is used in LGBTQ+ contexts, and referring to someone by their deadname is generally considered disrespectful unless they explicitly permit it.
