What is Ariana Grande's full birth name?

Ariana Grande’s full birth name is Ariana Grande-Butera.

She was born on June 26, 1993, in Boca Raton, Florida. “Grande” is her mother’s surname, while “Butera” comes from her father’s family. She became widely known professionally as Ariana Grande, omitting the second surname from her stage name.

The name is sometimes confused with “Ariana Grande” because that is the name used on her recordings, acting credits, and public branding. “Ariana Maria Grande” is also incorrect: Maria is not part of her recorded birth name. “Ariana Butera” leaves out Grande rather than giving her complete name.

Grande has occasionally used her birth surname in professional contexts. For example, she was credited as Ariana Grande-Butera for her role as Glinda in the film adaptation of Wicked. That credit helped draw attention to the surname she generally does not use in everyday entertainment branding.
