Ariana Grande Will Change Her Name After Marrying Pete Davidson No, the 25-year-old pop star
won't be becoming
Ariana Davidson. Instead she
will hyphenate her name. Soon-to-be Ariana Grande-Davidson,
the singer is no stranger to hyphenation. Her current legal name is actually Ariana Grande-Butera. Ariana Grande, on 'Apple Music Beats 1' Also, it turns out that Grande's
grandfather pronounced the
name "Gran-DEE," rather than
"Gran-DAY," in an effort to "Americanize" it. It was Ariana's brother who
suggested that the family start using the latter pronunciation because he thought it was more fun. Though Grande will ultimately have a legally hyphenated name with Davidson, she won't include the hyphen in her stage name. In fact, someday she might want to drop a last name altogether.
