What is Beyoncé’s middle name?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s middle name is Giselle.

Her full birth name is Beyoncé Giselle Knowles, and she was born on September 4, 1981, in Houston, Texas. After marrying rapper Jay-Z, she became widely known professionally as Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, although “Beyoncé” remains her principal stage name.

The name is sometimes misspelled with an accent omitted, but the singer’s official professional name is styled “Beyoncé,” with an acute accent over the final e. Her middle name is less frequently mentioned than her stage name, which makes it a useful biographical detail.

Beyoncé began performing publicly as a child and became internationally famous first as a member of Destiny’s Child before launching her solo career.
