The process of finding entity in a knowledge base (KB) that a given keyphrase in a text refers to is called entity linking. I have the opposite problem. I have an entity in my knowledge base (KB) and I want to find all the ways people might refer to this entity. For instance, I have "Madonna" (singer) and I am looking for aliases like "Louise Ciccone", "Madonna Ritchie", "Queen of Pop", "Mo", etc.

Is it called aliasing? Or there is a better name in the literature?

I guess finding the right key words will help me find related research.

One option is to call them synonyms, a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase.

Entity linking is mapping words of interest to corresponding unique entities in a knowledge base. It is useful to think of the unique entities in knowledge base as hashes and all surface forms as synonyms.
