The doctors real name

During the Doctor Who series I have been fasinated by finding out the Doctors real name.

I remember one episode when he says to Rose that some Gallifreyan words can stop wars and are also immensly powerful so I thought-I wonder if his name is one of those words

Next I thought it might have something to do with his earth name-John Smith. but next I realised that John Smith is a common alias used by people such as Peter Sutcliffe (the Yorkshire Ripper.)

 

Then I stumbled across his name but it was in a unknown language,

it read ∂³∑x².

after finding this I was intent to find what language it was written in and I searched for ages until I found this conclusion.

 

The doctors real name is wrote in Old High Gallifreyan-the language of the Time Lords.

I then tranlated this into Plain English and it gave me this:

 ∂³∑x² (Old High Gallifreyan) = The Doctor (Plain English)

 

So overall the doctors real name is 'the doctor'

 

However this has led to a new question: why is he called 'the doctor' and since when?

 

Stay tuned to se my next answer.
