What is Beyoncé’s full first name, combining her given name and middle name?

Beyoncé’s full first name, combining her given name and middle name, is Beyoncé Giselle.

She was born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles on September 4, 1981, in Houston, Texas. Her first name was chosen by her mother, Tina Knowles, and honors her mother’s maiden family name, Beyincé. The spelling differs from the family surname because of a clerical error on a birth certificate.

Beyoncé later became widely known professionally by her first name alone. Her surname was Knowles during the early part of her career, and she became Beyoncé Knowles-Carter after marrying rapper Jay-Z in 2008.

The accent in Beyoncé is part of the standard spelling of her name. It is often omitted in informal writing, but “Beyoncé Giselle” is the concise form of her given and middle names.
