Why is Andrew Wiggin called "the Third"?

Because he is a third child, which is against the law unless you have specific permission from the government, and too many children is seen as excessive and ultra-religious in that society, which is frowned upon.

Andrew Wiggin is called "the Third" because he is the third child in a society that restricts families to two children. His status as a Third alienates him from others and shapes his experiences throughout the story. This designation reflects the societal norms and restrictions of the world in which he lives.
