Harry Trumans Middle Name

Truman did not have a middle name, but only a middle initial. It was a common practice in southern states, including Missouri, to use initials rather than names. Truman said the initial was a compromise between the names of his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp(e) Truman and Solomon Young. He once joked that the S was a name, not an initial, and it should not have a period, but official documents and his presidential library all use a period. Furthermore, the Harry S. Truman Library has numerous examples of the signature written at various times throughout Truman's lifetime where his own use of a period after the "S" is very obvious.

Harry S. Truman didn't have a middle name. The S stood for a compromise between the names of his two grandfathers -- Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young

His parents named him Harry in honor of his uncle, Harrison Young. They chose the middle initial "S", but gave him no middle name so that both his grandfathers, Solomon Young and Anderson Shippe Truman, could claim that he was named for them.

That's very easy. He doesn't have a middle name just the middle "S." (really no middle name!!)

His middle name was Smoochy-bear. You can see why he pretended he didn't have one and just used the initial.
