How come jhin doesn't use his full name in game?

So based on the lore Jhin's full name is Khada Jhin. I guess I am just wondering why more champions don't have their full name in game. One example is Tahm Kench, its a great name and riot used his full name. Why can't we have more champions with full names like Yorick Mori, Malcom Graves, ect?

Tahm Kench isn't a first and last name. Think of him as Tahm'Kench like Cho'Gath.

My guess is like jhin himself some names are not real name thus a last name and thus don't have a full real name like miss fortune or tf, jinx , vi, or it's possible that the champ them self might want to forgo their first/ last name and only be called by their the other like fiora and graves. Tahm Kench is a Demon used in stories in bilgwater so giving him 2 name might fit the theme more .

Khada Jhin?

Jhin is a Kardashian konfurmet. [Insert Kappa here]

Seriosly though, it's his artist-name.

Well, Tahm Kench is a spirit-demon-thing, so using his full name is probably a matter of properly referring to him, whereas for the mortal champs, it's more acceptable to just use one name?

Professional name basis.

khada jhin is actually only his stage name, so it's unknown

Tahm kench might be a dual name,in that both parts are his first name. Also I think it has something to do with how the champ gets called in general,so Jhin is simply called Jhin by most people(at least those who know that name),while Tahm kench would be called tahm kench by most.
