This appears on a birth certificate when asked to give the name and surname of the mother:

(invented name!)

Elle Smith otherwise Elle de prifga algo mas

Would I put in Italian Elle Smith alias Elle de prifga algo mas.

Is this correct or is there a more official way of saying it.

Is the alias name the maiden name (i.e. before she got married) or is it the name used socially and that is different from the one registered officially?

agree riccardafd : Su una vecchia carta di identità di mia madre era scritto (nomi inventati) Rossi Carla detta Maria per distinguere il nome anagrafico da quello usato in famiglia e nei rapporti sociali.

altrimenti/anche conosciuta come

In later records it is possible to find a mother registered along the lines of Margaret Blinco otherwise Margaret Joel. This shows that she was using a name to which she didn't have legal entitlement e.g. she was living with someone called Blinco and using his name but was not married to him. Margaret Blinco otherwise Margaret Joel formerly Smith would show that she started life as a Smith, married and became Joel and was now living with someone and using his name.
