## Maisha ya awali 
Wayne alizaliwa na jina la Marion Robert Morrison mjini Winterset, Iowa. Jina lake la kati lilibadilishwa mapema kutoka Robert na kuwa Mitchell pale wazazi wake walipoamua kumwita mtoto wao aliyefuatia jina la Robert. Familia yake walikuwa Wapresbyteri. Baba yake, Clyde Leonard Morrison, (1884–1937), alikuwa na asili ya Kiere, Mskoti-Mweire na Mwingereza, na ni mtoto wa mkongwe aliyepigana Vita ya wenyewe kwa wenyewe ya Marekani Bw. Marion Mitchell Morrison (1845–1915). Mama yake, zamani  Mary Alberta Brown (1885–1970), alikuwa anatokea Lancaster County, Nebraska.

Familia ya Wayne ilihamia mjini Palmdale, California, na mnamo 1911 wakaelekea zao mjini Glendale, California, ambapo baba yake alifanya kazi kama mfamasia. Mzima moto mmoja kwenye kituo hicho wakati John yuko katika safari zake za kila siku za kuelekea shule huko Glendale akaanza kumwita "Little Duke", kwa sababu alikuwa haendi popote bila ya jibwa lake kubwa la Airedale Terrier, Duke. Yeye akapendekeza "Duke" kuwa badala ya "Marion," na jina hilo likamkaa kwa maisha yake yote.
