Chara is a placeholder name for CHARANAME which Dataminers have discovered is what the game refers to you as when you name yourself. Other than that, when you name yourself CHARA, the game calls it the "True Name." Naturally, Chara's name is whatever you name yourself, as a malevolent spirit that possesses Frisk to kill people. But the canon name of Chara is... well, Chara. But Chara, as far as the storyline is concerned, is really just the Player's Chosen name.
