His real name - Kenshin or Shinta?

[katato2013]

Kenshin's name was Shinta, but then Hiko changed it to Kenshin because Shinta was too gentle for a swordsmen. Since they probably didn't have a legal process for changing names back then, Kenshin's "real" name is actually Kenshin.

i think that it's Kenshin now cause he started a new life

Somewhere in the 18s 20s. But ya his master gave him the name Kenshin.  

[I Hope For Sad Endings]

Shinta is his real name, Hiko just chaged it because he said it was a childs name. Kenshin is sexxier anyway  

[Ruthless Squall]

its Shinta  

[Collinrocks11]

Shinta is his real name. Innocent, child like. Master Hiko Seijuro just replaced it with a more masculine name, Kenshin.
That soft name of Shinta clearly would not fit a Battousai.

Shinta is the name that his adopted parents gave him. We never really know Kenshin's true name.

They were his adopted parents?

I think Shinta suits his personality better.

Shinta is Kenshin's real name, but his name was changed to himura kenshin by his master
