Keeping his past a secret, Djarin worked as a bounty hunter when he became an adult, rising to prominence in the years following the fall of the Galactic Empire. He became known simply as "the Mandalorian," or "Mando" for short, to those outside of the Tribe.
The titular Mandalorian is called “Mando” by most people because they don't know his actual name. He doesn't tell it to people, and even the out of character audience has been specifically denied this information.
Din Djarin (pronounced /ˈdɪn-ˈdʒærɪn/), known as The Mandalorian, or Mando for short, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, who appears as the titular protagonist of the Disney+ television series The Mandalorian and also appears in its spin-off The Book of Boba Fett.
No, not Grogu Djarin. Din Grogu. Many of us had to go back many times in the episode just to make sure we'd heard correctly when the Armorer (Emily Swallow) announced the child's full name since no one expected the family name to be Din instead of Djarin.
He was an older kid who knew his name and where he came from. Clearly he didn't have to give up his surname when he became a foundling of Mandalore. He got to keep that part of his past. Now the name (and placement of) Din is a reminder of who he was and where he came from.
Yoda lived to be 900 years old before passing in the original Star Wars trilogy, and Grogu was already older than Din Djarin at the start of The Mandalorian, so any biological growth would be almost imperceptible.
Grogu isn't mentioned to Rey by Luke, but that's purely because The Mandalorian, Grogu, and Disney+ didn't exist when The Force Awakens script was written. There's no on-screen evidence to confirm Luke and Grogu cross paths once more after The Book of Boba Fett, but that doesn't mean the pair can't reunite again.
It's no secret that the relationship and character arcs of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katie Sackhoff) have overlapped more and more as Season 3 of The Mandalorian has progressed.
Din Djarin, also known as "the Mandalorian," or simply "Mando," was a human male Mandalorian warrior during the era of the New Republic.
Pedro Pascal is a Chilean actor and another Latino who's also part of the saga as Din Djarin — known as The Mandalorian — in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
Tarre Vizsla was a Force-sensitive human male who, as a child, was inducted into the Jedi Order around 1050 BBY, becoming the first Mandalorian to do so. Tarre eventually became a Jedi Knight. Vizsla created the Darksaber during his time as a Jedi.
According to The Way, Mandalorians are not allowed to remove their helmets. If another being sees a Mandalorian warrior without their helmet, they're forbidden from ever donning it again. This rule seems relatively straightforward, if extremely cumbersome, but its enforcement is harsh.
Mandalorians do marry and can marry anyone they want. Although I was surprised to discover that, “weddings typically happen immediately after a Mandalorian turns sixteen years old”. Same-sex marriage is allowed, and the weddings tend to be simple.
A human female was the mother of Din Djarin. During an attack by Separatist battle droids, Djarin's mother and father escaped their home, and tried to hide their son from the droids. After hiding their son, Djarin's parents were killed, and Djarin was found by a B2-series super battle droid.
The Mandalorian season 3 finale featured the surprising reveal that "Din" is actually Din Djarin's surname, setting him apart from other named Mandalorians in the Star Wars galaxy.

The Grudge Against the Jedi
In The Mandalorian, the Armorer tells Din Djarin about the Jedi, but describes them only in terms of their role in the Mandalorian-Jedi war, causing Din to refer to them as “enemy sorcerers.”
His current armor is made from pure beskar and likely unpainted because he's not in a clan.
It was later revealed in season 1 that Din's disdain for droids came from the fact that his parents were killed by Separatist battle droids during the Clone Wars.
Over time, a gentle headbutt consisting of a tapping of helmets together at the forehead, came to be a stand-in gesture for a kiss among Mandalorians adorned in full armor. The practice led to the development of the slang term "Keldabe kiss," derived from the name of Mandalore's capital city.

While fans don't know the state of Grogu's well-being in the sequel trilogy, his ties to Mandalore might explain why Kylo Ren doesn't kill him. It's likely Grogu stays with Din Djarin and the Mandalorians, and never returns to embark on his training with Luke.
The second time Yoda mentions his long life is in Return of the Jedi, when he tells Luke, “When you reach 900 years old, you will not look as good as you will.” If we take Yoda at his word, that means the Jedi Master died at the ripe old age of 900.
It was believed that Grogu would eventually become a victim of Kylo Ren's destruction of Luke's Jedi Order. However, The Book of Boba Fett revealed that Grogu chose to follow the Way of the Mandalorian rather than become a Jedi, sparing him from Kylo Ren's wrath.
