Suri Cruise Legally Changes Last Name to Noelle, Emphasizing Independence
Suri Cruise, daughter of actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes, has legally changed her last name to Noelle, her mother's middle name. This change was confirmed through voter registration records in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where she is a student at Carnegie Mellon University. The decision to drop her father's surname reportedly stems from a desire to establish her own identity as she embarks on her college journey. Suri, now 20, has been in the public eye since her birth in 2006, following her parents' high-profile marriage and subsequent divorce in 2012. The name change was first speculated in 2024 when she graduated from high school using the name 'Suri Noelle.'
