    The name was created for a book that came out in late 2014 after the reset. In the original EU no one knew his first name.

      I could be mistaken because I haven’t read the book in a couple years now, but I believe the Darth Plagueis novel from 2012 gave us Palpatine’s first name.

        It first appeared in Tarkin by the same author. The Darth Plague is novel just mentions why he doesn’t use his first name but but what it is.
