    It’s used for indicating someone’s maiden name usually, just tongue-in-cheek I wager by whoever wrote the title.

        Sometimes, but in more official writing (like a bio or even Wikipedia) we’ll use née. Just another word the English language stole from other languages 😂

        Sometimes, but née is a more… Academic way of putting it. Like how academic papers use Latin phrases rather than their colloquial versions in English.
