Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes' daughter Suri legally changes her famous last name

Suri, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has officially changed her legal surname. According to voter registration records in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, the 20-year-old college student is now registered as Suri Noelle. This name shift follows a move she hinted at during her high school graduation in 2024.

Noelle is the middle name of her mother, Katie Holmes. Legal experts note that as an adult, Suri possesses the right to change her name to whatever she chooses. Before she reached the age of 18, Holmes held sole legal custody, which allowed for significant discretion regarding legal decisions.

Suri is currently attending Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. She has largely remained out of the spotlight during her transition to college life. Her mother has consistently prioritized privacy for her daughter, citing the high level of public attention Suri experienced as a child as a primary reason for her protective approach to parenting.

The change marks a transition into adulthood for the college student. Her mother previously described the period as an exciting time of beginnings for her daughter. Both Cruise and Holmes have had minimal public comment regarding the update to official records.
