i nthe time of black slave, a slave took the last name of their owner. malcom x became independent of that when he gave up his slave name for the variable x which represents his true last name that he lost to the slave owner.
===========================================================
Above is a different answer from what I heard on a different website. 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'
He put the 'X' on the end of his name because his original last name 'little' was given to his ansestors by their owner as black people were slaves. Therefore he replaced it with an 'X' as it shows his last name is unknown.
It was because it symbolised the loss of identity of slaves in America; when they arrived in America slaves were "allocated" names - often the names of their "owners".
his real name is Malcom Little but he changed it to an x beacuese he thoght it was his slave name
He changed his name from Malcolm Little to Malcolm X because he felt that his former old name, Malcolm Little, was a slave name. He changed it to X when he converted to Islam.
