Rita Moreno changed her name from Rosa Dolores Alverío to create a more marketable and memorable identity in Hollywood. She adopted the surname "Moreno," which reflects her Puerto Rican heritage, while "Rita" was inspired by the actress Rita Hayworth. This change aimed to help her navigate the industry, which often favored Anglicized names for better acceptance.
