Gerald Ford, originally named Leslie Lynch King Jr., changed his name to honor his stepfather, Gerald R. Ford Sr., after his parents divorced. He adopted the Ford surname during his youth, which helped him forge a new identity. This change was significant in shaping his public persona as he later became the 38th President of the United States.
