Suri, daughter of actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes, has officially legally changed her name to Suri Noelle, no longer using her father's surname. Her latest move continues to attract attention in Hollywood, as many of Brad Pitt's children have also successively left their Pitt surname after years of divorce.
According to public records, Suri used the name Suri Noelle when registering voters in Pennsylvania (USA), where she is studying at Carnegie Mellon University. According to local regulations, voter registrants must use a legal name, indicating that her name change procedures have been completed.
This is the first time Suri's name change has been confirmed by legal documents. Previously, from mid-2024, she appeared with the name Suri Noelle in the graduation program of LaGuardia High School (New York, USA), replacing her birth name Suri Cruise, causing much speculation.
Close sources said Noelle is Katie Holmes' middle name. The choice of this name is said to be Suri's way of expressing her attachment to her mother, while also marking her desire to build a life and personal identity when entering adulthood.
Suri was born in 2006, the only child of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. The couple married on the same year their daughter was born but separated in 2012. After a broken marriage, Suri lived with her mother in New York and rarely appeared with her father. For many years, international media has repeatedly reported that the relationship between Tom Cruise and his daughter is no longer as close as before.
Suri's abandonment of the Cruise surname also reminds the public of the families of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, where many children have chosen to no longer use their father's surname.
In 2024, Shiloh applied to change her name immediately after turning 18 years old and was approved by the court to remove the surname Pitt. Vivienne also completed the procedures to change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie. Previously, she used the name Vivienne Jolie in the crew list of the musical "The Outsiders".
Meanwhile, Zahara has appeared many times with the name Zahara Jolie at public events. Maddox has long used the name Maddox Jolie in his studies and work, including registering for film projects directed by Angelina Jolie. The youngest son Knox has not been confirmed to have completed legal procedures, but was introduced as Knox Jolie at his high school graduation ceremony in June.
Pax himself is said to still maintain relationships with some members of his paternal family, although the distance between him and Brad Pitt has been mentioned many times by international media.
The fact that the children of top Hollywood stars successively change their names is not just a simple legal procedure but also reflects personal choices when entering adulthood. In the context that sensational divorces still leave many prolonged consequences, every decision related to the names of famous children quickly becomes the focus of public attention.
