Edson Arantes do Nascimento is his real name. Pele is just a nickname like Ronaldo or Ronaldinho.
Reply to who answered this originally, Pele is a nickname, Ronaldo is part of the first name of Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima,Ronaldinho is a nickname because the Brazilians didnt want 2 Ronaldos in the squad and the players gave him the nickname Ronaldinho, which vaguely means, Little Ronaldo.
I agree with the second answer. ^-^ LOL
