That didn't stop fans speculating on whether Snoke was really Darth Plagueis or Anakin Skywalker's evil twin or something else entirely. It didn't turn out to be anything as grand when The Rise of Skywalker revealed that, actually, Emperor Palpatine was in charge all along.
Emperor Palpatine created Snoke to be his proxy through which he could regain his power. Although Snoke was bio-engineered in a lab on Exegol, he was a strand-cast, not a clone.
The Star Wars universe establishes Snoke as a Force-sensitive artificial being who was created by Emperor Palpatine, and used by him to reclaim control of the galaxy. As Palpatine's puppet ruler, Snoke manipulates Luke Skywalker's nephew, Ben Solo, to the dark side of the Force and serve the First Order as Kylo Ren.
"Snoke" was the identity adopted by an artificial strandcast created in the dark science laboratory on the planet Exegol by the loyalists of the Sith Eternal cult, at the behest of Dark Lord of the Sith and Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious, during their cloning experiments during the reign of the Galactic Empire.
It seems improbable that Snoke did not know that Palpatine created him, but despite being steeped in knowledge surrounding the Dark Side, there is no evidence in any of the canon content that Snoke knew Palpatine was alive, let alone that he created him.
In a new excerpt, it's revealed that the names of Rey's parents are Dathan and Miramir. Dathan is the dad and Miramir the mother, if you were wondering; it's not always clear with these names from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

In Legends it's pretty much confirmed that Anakin was born of the Force as a reaction to Plagueis and Palpatine growing stronger in the dark side, however the reason for his conception is much less clear in Canon.
Powerfully Force-sensitive, Rey trains to be a Jedi under siblings Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, and faces adversaries such as Kylo Ren, Supreme Leader Snoke and the resurrected Emperor Palpatine—who is revealed to be her grandfather in The Rise of Skywalker.
When it comes to combat skills, there's no question that Palpatine was far more capable with a lightsaber in his hands than Snoke. Not many people can launch into a 920 corkscrew spin from a prone position and that includes the Supreme Leader.
In the film, we learned that Rey was a Palpatine, and her father was a clone of the infamous Sith Lord. However, it did raise the question of why would Palpatine let one of his clones escape especially since he was later revealed to be a failed clone.
The offspring of Darth Sidious' cloned son, Rey inherited her grandfather's power in the Force. Born on the planet Hyperkarn in 15 ABY, Rey was the daughter of a man named Dathan and woman named Miramir, but their names were later lost to history.

The weapon had a kyber crystal at its heart, and emitted a yellow-colored plasma blade when ignited. The emitter matrix on Rey's weapon featured a rotating gear-like mechanism, which caused the emitter of the lightsaber to open up and allow the plasma blade through.
It is subsequently revealed that Palpatine had a son (who was his clone) whom he named Dathan, who renounced him; he and his wife, Miramir took their daughter Rey to the planet Jakku, assuming lives as "nobodies" to keep her safe.
