Harpo was Adolph, but his name was changed to Arthur when Adolph became an unpopular name, particularly in the Jewish community. Chico was Leonard, Groucho was Julius, Zeppo was Herbert and Gummo was Milton. Their family name was indeed Marx and their mother's name was Minnie. At one point they were known as Minnie's Boys. They had a vaudeville act that was a precursor to the films they would make in later life.

I think they are, in order, Julius, Adolph (or Arthur), Leonardo and I dunno what Zeppo's real name was. Or Gummo, who never appeared in the movies.
