In the book "Bud, Not Buddy" by Christopher Paul Curtis, Bud's new name is "Bud Caldwell." He chooses this name for himself as he searches for his father and strives to find his place in the world.
Bud thought Mr. Lewis was his father because he carried around a flyer with his name on it, which said "Herman E. Calloway, father, bandleader". Bud's quest to find Mr. Lewis was driven by his belief that he was his father.
Bud is self-conscious about his name because he wants to find his father, and he feels like his name is the only clue he has to his identity. Additionally, he has faced teasing and bullying because of his name, which amplifies his insecurity about it.
Bud believes the man on the flyer is his father because the man in the flyer shares his father's name, Herman E. Calloway. Bud also carries a flyer advertising Calloway's jazz band and believes his father might be affiliated with this band.
...Buddy. Hence the name "Air Bud".

No he doesn't find his father he finds his grandfather instead.
He never really did find his father, just his grandfather
