Yes but by the name of Yusuf Islam.
Yusaf IslamDid you know:Cat Stevens converted to Islam in 1977.
Not too long ago he was denied re-entry into the United States because he is a Muslim and was using his other name (not sure if it was his given name, adopted Muslim name, or what). It was an outrage because he is a peaceful individual who works to promote peace. (Maybe that was their problem with him.)
Some people change their names, though they do not have to unless their name is something bad. He changed his name to Yusuf because he was most impressed with the story of Joseph, in the Qur'an. Yusuf is the Arabic for Joseph. He also changed his last name which we are actually not supposed to do.
Yusuf Islam, originally known as Cat Stevens, adopted his stage name in the 1960s as a reflection of his love for cats, which he had as pets, and the whimsical nature of the name itself. The "Cat" part of the name came from his fondness for the animals, while "Stevens" was derived from his birth name, Steven Demetre Georgiou. This persona became widely recognized in the music industry during his successful career in folk and pop music. After converting to Islam in the late 1970s, he changed his name to Yusuf Islam, marking a significant shift in his life and career.
Yusuf is the name of actor DIlip Kumar. He is considered the first superstar of Bollywood. He is the favorite actor of Amitabh Bacchan.
