Yes add an AKA but you'll want more.
I'd add a Name Change event with notes explaining what you've discovered.
For most AKAs I just add a source but for significant name changes I add
an Event so I can add notes.
In Reports you can choose to add AKAs and you can choose to add Events
and you can in addition choose whether or not you add Event notes. See
the Report Options.

I have a person who emigrated from Victoria, Australia in the 19th
century because of a financial fraud, and appeared in the USA with
another name and the same wife and several children who were born in
Australia.
When his presence in USA became known to me, I had assumed that his
wife had re-married a brother or relative of his - ie, with the same
surname, after his death. I have seen that scenario a couple of times.
But there is good proof that he merely changed his name (I was alerted
to information about the fraud and disappearance after entering a
second husband).
Is this conveniently handled as an aka with the full adopted name? How
does Legacy handle that in various reports?
