Tom Marvolo Riddle, known as Professor Morte and also known as Dark Lord himself, is a half-blood wizard and Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. After failing to kill a boy in the graveyard, he attempted to make a plan to get close to the boy himself.
In 1994, he was still the disembodied spirit that had been defeated in 1981, not the shadowy figure possessing Quirrell (which was 1991-1992); however, he returned to a full body (which happened in late 1994/mid-1995) during the year of the Triwizard Tournament, where Harry saw and fought him in the graveyard but soon escpated there with Cedric's dead body.
Soon after, he somehow possesses a body and gets a job at Hogwarts to get close to a boy (Harry Potter) himself, and he needs an alias that could fit for a professor and a name that avoids his known birth name, as he'd be trying to operate secretly, especially under Dumbledore's nose. A name with a subtle, dark, or sinister hidden meaning.
Given these constraints, a good undercover name for him as a professor in 1994 could be: Professor Lorden Morte, which Lorden sounds like "Lord" and Morte is a French word for "death," a direct reference to the "mort" in his name and his obsession with it, hidden in plain sight as a seemingly unique surname.
