“Nobody knows me,” Madonna sings on her latest CD, the second song she’ll perform during her four-night stop in South Florida on her successful Re-Invention Tour.

Nobody Knows Me. And she’s puzzled by this? It’s amazing even Madonna can keep track of all the personas she has inhabited.

Eighties Material Girl in thrift-shop couture. A lipstick lesbian named Dita. Evita. Mama Madonna. Faux English aristocrat. Suburban Jewish mother named . . . Esther.

It’s not an official she’s-got-it-on-her-driver’s-license name, naturally. But, as an outspoken follower of the Jewish mystical teachings known as Kabbalah, Madonna reportedly identifies with Esther, the biblical woman who saved the Jews from annihilation.

Madonna may be Esther to her fellow Kabbalists, but she’s not foolish enough to risk career annihilation by changing the brand name you’ll see at tonight and Thursday’s two-hour career retrospective concerts at Sunrise’s Office Depot Center, or the two AmericanAirlines Arena shows Sunday and Monday nights in Miami.

The stub reads ”Madonna,” and the show celebrates what that iconic name has meant for 20 years by dusting off many of Madonna’s greatest hits.

Since Madonna is in the mood to look back, we can’t resist doing the same. Spoiler alert: We’re going to reveal which hits from each period Madonna plans to perform this week.

• The Material Girl. Teased dirty blond hair, Boy Toy belt buckle, midriff-baring top revealing a soft-bellied, pre-yoga Madonna, exposed bra straps. The image that cemented her arrival was that white wedding dress she wore while writhing on the stage and chirping Like a Virgin on MTV’s inaugural Video Music Awards program in 1984.

Songs you’ll hear: Burning Up, Holiday, Material Girl, Crazy for You, Into the Groove.

• Platinum blond. Madonna as Marilyn Monroe. When she ditched husband Sean Penn, she even took up with John F. Kennedy Jr. for a brief fling.

Song: Papa Don’t Preach.

• The brunet artiste. For 1989’s Like a Prayer, a dark-haired Madonna went deeper, focusing on family, her failed marriage, social issues and the loss of her mother.

Songs: Like a Prayer, Express Yourself.

• The provacateur. Remember the Sex coffee-table book filled with naked pictures of Madonna cavorting as Dita, a lusty ambisexual on the prowl?

Songs: Vogue, Hanky Panky, Deeper and Deeper.

• Saint Evita. Following Sex, Madonna finally landed the movie role she was born to play: Evita Peron. She was hiding a secret, however. Madonna was pregnant with her first child during filming. The birth would have Madonna in mommy mode, claiming she was more spiritual and less selfish. So how does this explain those $300 concert tickets?

Songs: Lament (from Evita), Frozen.

• Country girl. The cover of her 2000 technopop CD, Music, featured Madonna in a designer cowboy hat. On the Drowned World Tour, she rode a mechanical bull. When not in cowgirl clothes, she was donning geisha outfits.

Songs: Music, Don’t Tell Me.

• Military Girl. Madonna as an antiwar, anti-Bush activist in army fatigues.

Songs: Die Another Day, American Life, Hollywood, Nobody Knows Me, John Lennon’s Imagine.
