At that time anyone who could travel was either royalty or rich or a bandit one of the three. Most people had nothing. And even when I grew up anyone from another area of even the same city or state could easily be beat up or killed just from local ignorance of other areas than where they lived. So, it is perfectly understandable why royalty would use other names for traveling around. And Both Francis Bacon and the Comte De Saint Germain (who I presently believe were the same person) often were on secret missions for various governments like France or England or maybe Germany or other nations as well. So, even more necessary to have aliases (other traveling names) for safety then.
begin partial quote from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_of_St._Germain
The count used a variety of names and titles, including the Marquess of Montferrat (Fr. Marquis de Montferrat), Count Bellamarre (Fr. Comte Bellamarre), Knight Schoening (Fr. Chevalier Schoening), Count Weldon, Count Soltikoff (Fr. Comte Soltikoff), Manuel Doria, Graf Tzarogy, and Prince Ragoczy (De. Prinz Ragoczy). He appears to have begun to be known under the title of the Count of St Germain during the early 1740s.[4]
