Martin Luther King, Jr. was born Michael King and renamed by his father honoring Martin Luther .
He was born Michael Luois King, Jr. His father changed the names in 1935 to Martin Luther in honor of the German Protestant reformer.
Martin Luther King's real name was actually Michael. He was the son of a Black preacher known at the time only as "Daddy King." In 1935, "Daddy King" was inspired to name himself after the Protestant reformer Martin Luther. He announced to his congregation that in future they were to refer to him as "Martin Luther King" and to his son as "Martin Luther King, Jr." Michael Kingremained Martin Luther King's real name right up to the time he died, as the name change was never made legal.
Martin Luther King acquired his name when his father, a Baptist minister, changed both their names to honor the German Protestant reformer Martin Luther.
"Martin Luther" was born in Eisleben, Germany, on November 10, 1483. No middle (baptismal) name appears to have been recorded. His actual familial name may have been "Luder" or "Ludher", as his entry to the University of Erfurt lists "Martinus Ludher Mansfeldt" ("Martin Luther of Mansfeld").
Well, Martin Luther's, father's name was Hans, and his mother's name was, Margaretta, but if you mean Martin Luther King Junior, I can't help you.
His dad gave him the name that's why he is a Jr. That too, but he was originally named just Michael King Jr. after his father. Not Martin or Luther. When the family traveled to Europe to Germany, their names were changed in honor if German Protestant leader, "Martin Luther".
