Celebrities You Never Knew Changed Their Names

Katy Perry – Real Name: Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson

Katy Perry was born Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson but felt Hudson sounded too close to actress Kate Hudson, so she changed her name to Perry, which is also her mother’s maiden name.

She rose to prominence as a pop singer thanks to a succession of anthemic and frequently suggestive hit songs, as well as a cartoonish sense of fashion. Perry’s major break came from her second studio album, “One of the Boys,” which featured “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold,” which both charted at number one and three on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Her sixth studio album, “Smile,” was released in 2020
