Georgia O'Keeffe's first name was Georgia.
She was named Georgia Totto O'Keeffe at birth. The name reflected her family background: her father, Francis Calyxtus O'Keeffe, was of Irish descent, while her mother, Ida Totto, had Hungarian ancestry.
O'Keeffe used her birth name throughout her public career, including after her marriage to Alfred Stieglitz. Unlike some artists who adopted a professional name, she did not change her signature identity when her reputation grew.
The name is occasionally mistaken for Georgina or Georgia Ann, but neither is her documented first name. Her middle name, Totto, came from her mother's family and is an important detail in biographical accounts of the artist.
