The eighth episode of "Teen Wolf" season six titled "Blitzkrieg" just aired on Tuesday night, January 17 on MTV. The series finally gave an answer to fans' biggest question that has been around for so long, which is the real name of Stiles Stilinski (Dylan O'Brien).

[SPOILER ALERT!] In the episode, Sheriff Noah Stilinski (Linden Ashby) spends most of his time trying to remember a lot of things including the fact that he has a son.

As he shows up at Scott's (Tyler Posey) house, the Sheriff says, "I have a son. His name is Mieczyslaw Stilinski." He then explains that young Stiles couldn't pronounce his name back then so he started to use "mischief", a nickname which Claudia (Joey Honsa) gave him.

Editors' Pick

Talking about the inspiration behind the name, showrunner Jeff Davis tells Entertainment Weekly, "I was looking for a Polish name that was incredibly difficult to both spell and pronounce. Mieczyslaw sounded like 'mischief.' " He added, "It seemed like a perfect word to describe Stiles. Both as a mischievous child and equally misbehaved adult."

"Teen Wolf" airs Tuesdays at 9 P.M. ET on MTV.
