Obi-Wan Kenobi, later known as Ben Kenobi during his exile, was a Force-sensitive Human male and a legendary Jedi Master who played a significant role in the fate of the galaxy during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. He was the mentor of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker, training both in the ways of the Force.
In the original trilogy he is introduced as Ben Kenobi, an alias he uses while in hiding from the Empire. He is a mentor to Luke Skywalker, to whom he introduces the ways of the Jedi.
After months of fan speculation, Star Wars has revealed the identity of the down-on-his clone trooper who appeared in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Per The Direct, the new Star Wars Dawn of the Republic The Visual Guide confirms that Temuera Morrison's bearded clone, who briefly begs Obi-Wan for any spare credits, is named Nax.
Obi-wan is known as Ben, but I don't think anyone knows him as Ben Kenobi besides Luke and his family. He rarely goes into town and wouldnt have had a reason to use his last name.

What is the other name for Obi-Wan Kenobi?
Obi-Wan Kenobi, later known as Ben Kenobi during his exile, was a Force-sensitive Human male and a legendary Jedi Master who played a significant role in the fate of the galaxy during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. He was the mentor of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker, training both in the ways of the Force.
During his Padawan training, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn were assigned to be bodyguards to Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore. They spent nearly a year together, often unsure of what fate the next day would bring. Eventually, the two fell in love, and during their private moments, Satine affectionately called him “Ben”.
Although Rey ended up being Palpatine's granddaughter, director J.J. Abrams also considered making her a descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi, a popular fan theory since the beginning of the sequel trilogy.
Obi-Wan fakes his own death and goes undercover as his own 'killer', Rako Hardeen, so he can infiltrate Moralo Eval's plot to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine.
When talking to Mace Windu and Yoda in the prison, Obi-Wan uses the code name "Ben," a reference to the name he would use while in exile on Tatooine after the Clone Wars.
The Sith apprentice Darth Maul struck Qui-Gon down during the battle for Naboo, but the mortally wounded Jedi lived long enough to ask his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to promise to train Anakin.
Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo. A Force-sensitive Hysalrian, N'Kata Del Gormo was trained in the ways of the Force and achieved the rank of Master within the Jedi Order.
Who was Qui-Gon Jinn's Master? Qui-Gon Jinn's Master was Count Dooku. The relationship between Dooku and his Padawan was largely built on respect, though Jinn often found it difficult to get a read on his Master.
This mystery was especially prevalent in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but The Last Jedi overcorrected it by claiming Rey is not related to any established original trilogy Star Wars characters. Then The Rise of Skywalker revealed, in an out-of-left-field retcon, that Rey is the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine.
Despite being enemies, Rey and Kylo Ren share a connection called a 'Force dyad' and eventually become romantically involved with one another. Following Palpatine's final defeat and her own resurrection, Rey adopts the name Rey Skywalker to honor her mentors and their family legacy and renounce her lineage.
Although Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker concludes with Rey choosing the name of Skywalker and completing her path to becoming a Jedi, it's possible that she was actually the reincarnation of Anakin all along.
Ten years after Order 66, when most of the Jedi Order were killed, reclusive former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi is hiding in a cave on Tatooine, under the alias "Ben."
Luke knows him as “Old Ben Kenobi,” which sounds a lot like a misheard/normalized for that planet version of “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Very similar sounds to his real name. (There may be a better reason, but I think it's likely just a nickname to help him remain incognito.)
The novel Kenobi, part of the Star Wars Legends series, tells the story of Obi-Wan's first days on Tatooine after the fall of the Republic. In the story, we learn that Obi-Wan took on the name Ben because it's a nickname given to him by an old flame, the Duchess Satine Kryze.
Obi-wan responds to starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Luke_Skywalker saying R2 belongs to him with, “I don't seem to remember ever owning a droid,” which is technically true, because Obi-Wan never did “own” R2 or C-3PO. Obi-Wan then makes a comment that suggests he's more than aware of R2's impressive capabilities.
🎬 [ANH] Why did Obi-Wan age so fast on Tatooine? Well, because it's TATOOINE, it is a desert planet with 2 suns so people age faster there. Which is why Obi-Wan looks like he's in his 60s in ANH when he's only 57. It would also explain why Luke looks like he's 25 in ANH when he's only 19 and Leia actually looks 19.
A legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a noble man and gifted in the ways of the Force. He trained Anakin Skywalker, served as a general in the Republic Army during the Clone Wars, and guided Luke Skywalker as a mentor.
