# List of stage names

This list of stage names lists names used by those in the entertainment industry, alphabetically by their stage name's surname followed by their birth name. Individuals who dropped their last name and substituted their middle name as their last name are listed. Those with a one-word stage name are listed in a separate article.
In many cases, performers have legally changed their name to their stage name.
Note: Many cultures have their own naming customs and systems, some rather intricate. Minor changes or alterations, including reversing Eastern-style formats, do not in and of themselves qualify as stage names and should not normally be included. For example, Björk is not a stage name, it is part of her full Icelandic name, Björk Guðmundsdóttir. Her second name is a patronymic instead of a family name, following Icelandic naming conventions.
People are not listed here if they fall into one or more of the following categories:
* Those who have more than one family name, provided at least one is represented in the professional name. This is especially common with people from Spanish or Portuguese-speaking countries and in the Philippines.
* Those who changed their name to perform a character or alter ego, including drag performers and professional wrestlers.
* Those who changed their name to undertake an alias, rather than a name with which the subject will publicly identify.
* Those who changed their surname due primarily to marriage, even if the marriage has since ended.
* Those who changed their surname due to adoption or legal name change prior to entering the entertainment industry.
* Those known by nicknames both privately and professionally.
* Those who may be popularly, though not professionally, known by a nickname.
* Those who changed their name(s) due to realized change in sexual/gender identity, or other recognized gender-related reasons.
* Those who changed their names for religious reasons.
* Those who adopted a matriname:
** List of people who adopted matrilineal surnames
* Those who changed their name(s) due to other or unknown reasons unrelated to show business of any kind.
Note: Elton John is listed here because he used the name professionally before he legally adopted it in 1972.
