Jean Baptiste Lully changed his name from Giovanni Battista Lulli to better align with French culture and to establish his identity as a prominent composer in the French court. Lully, originally Italian, moved to France and became a leading figure in the development of French Opera and Ballet, and adopting a French name helped him gain acceptance and prominence in the artistic community. His name change reflected his assimilation into the French social and cultural milieu.
