Best Answer

Arthur Conan Doyle added "Conan" as part of his surname in 1886 after he started to publish his first stories. This change was to distinguish himself from another British author named Sir Arthur Doyle.

The name on his birth certificate is Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, and he never changed it. He played football (soccer) goalie using the name A. C. Smith, but that is not a real name change. He was awarded a knighthood in 1902, but that is not a name change either.
