As of now, fans only know that The Child is a member of Yoda's force sensitive species. Moreover, in the first episode of The Mandalorian, an Imperial mentioned that Baby Yoda was over 50 years old. But the makers of the show were very secretive about the origins of the Baby.

After realising that The Child is force sensitive, The Mandalorian decides to take care of him until he is delivered to people of his own kind, aka other Force Users and Jedi. Season 2 of The Mandalorian will likely focus on the baby's origins, and the show might finally reveal his real name. According to official sources, The Mandalorian Season 2 is set to release in October of this year. However, the dates might be pushed due to delayed caused by the pandemic.
