What was Georgia O'Keeffe's first name?

Georgia O'Keeffe's first name was Georgia. Her full name was Georgia Totto O'Keeffe, and she became one of the best-known American artists of the twentieth century.

She was named Georgia after her grandfather, George Victor Totto. The middle name Totto came from her maternal grandfather, George Victor Totto, whose family had Hungarian and German roots.

O'Keeffe is commonly identified simply by her first and last names, but the middle name appears in biographical records and museum material. It should not be confused with the name of her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, the influential photographer and gallery owner.

Her name became especially associated with close-up flower paintings, New York skyscrapers, animal bones, and the landscapes of northern New Mexico. Those subjects helped establish her distinct place in American modernism.
