Malcom X changed his last name from little to X as he believed it was the name of a slave. During slavery, the slaves that were kidnapped from Africa were taken to the west indies where they were kept as slaves. They would have been given the last name of there slave master so the master knew what slaves were theirs.

Malcolm X isn't his REAL name. The Malcolm was given to him by one of his teachers and the X is an unknown thing in math, so that's how he made his name... Malcolm 'Unknown'
