The main character of Don Quijote de la Mancha receives several names in well differentiated stages. The uncertainty on the name of the hidalgo in the first chapter, the certain name of don Quijote (in contrast with instability of two appelatives; Caballero de la Triste Figura and Caballero de los Leones) and his authentic name (Alonso Quijano), revealed in the final chapter, succesive ways to referring him. Those names are related with a variable awareness of self during story. The sense of each name is determinate by opposition to the other names and by different nuances of personal identity. Cervantes uses the diversity of names and his identity concept for criticize the forms and contents of chivalric romances.
