Is George Orwell the actual name of the person or is George Orwell a penname made up by a guy who's real name was Eric Blair. I can't believe I mixed this up and now I don't know which is which.

George Orwell is the pen name of Eric Blair. Orwell decided to use 'George' since he thought it denoted Britishness when anyone reads his novels or literary works while "Orwell' he got from the River Orwell in England.
