Why does the president of Cuba go by the name Fidel Castro?

His full name is Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz. His father's first surname was Castro and his mother's first surname was Ruz.
It is common not to use one's second forename, and it is fairly only to use the second surname in formal situations.
Hence - Fidel Castro.

Don't listen to these people!
They are just trying to make you look bad for some reason!
He goes by the name of Fidel Castro because it means "Extreme Leader in Spanish!"
