Pocahontas was given the English name Lady Rebecca when she converted to Christianity and married Englishman John Rolfe. This was a common practice for Native Americans who integrated into English colonial society. The name change also represented her elevated status as a married woman and her association with European culture.

Yes Pocahontas Did Marry Kocoum. The Real Pocahontas Anyway. The Disney Pochontas Didnt as Kocoum Died In The Story. The Real Pocahontas never married or even had a relationship with John Smith as she was only 10 when she met him when he came to Jamestown looking for gold. He was over 15 years older than her at the time. After He Left, many years later Pocahontas is said to have married Kocoum. Although nothing much is known about their relationship.
