Does anyone know what group of people have changed their names throughout history and why?

Question

Almost all the actors in America have changed their names beginning with Charlie Chaplin. You can search and discover that almost all big time actors and actresses have changed their names. Russians, English, French, Irish and Americans don't change their names. Only one group. Do you know who they are and why they change their names?

Jews are the only people who have changed their names. They do it just to hide the fact they are Jewish. They don't disclose their Jewishness unless confronted and then they say OH vey, I didn't know I was Jewish. I wonder what those stars were all around the house and why I had a big nose and why I hated honesty and physical labor.

Answer 1

no. Seems like because they wanted to. I do know that a lot of African Americans names' were changed during the slave trade because a lot of them could not read or write. When they were sold, they spelled their names the way they sounded.

Answer 2

How did Charlie Chaplin change his name? His birth certificate reads Charles Spencer Chaplin, Jr.

Answer 3

I assume you're implying the Jews. I wouldn't blame them if they do it to hide their heritage from people like you. If you step back from your xenophobia, you might also see that music, magic, writing, and pretty much every other form of entertainment has people that change their names...stage names, pen names, etc. The real reason....it's part of the packaging to promote and market themselves.

Answer 4

Germans in america due to hatred from the wars.
