AKA is an initialism for Also Known As. An example would be Superman AKA Clark Kent.
It is usually used to either reveal the real name of a person known to the public by a pseudonym (e.g. many artists are known by their pseudonyms) or to show alternative names a person has used (some authors choose to publish by different names when targeting different audiences).
The Aka are an African pygmy people.
