Not a twin's name specifically, but, as we are told by Ava, a  
brother-sister name. I take that to be the principal reason for thinking  
that Severian has a sister in the first place. (In this case it presumably  
does signify twinhood. If the torturers chose it, they would have no reason  
to choose a brother-sister name unless the sister was right there. If  
Catherine did, since she had been separated from her lover and was unlikely  
to meet him again, she wouldn't be planning for more children at that  
moment)
