His father's name was originally Alois Schicklgruber. When he was born, his mother was unmarried and nobody knew who his father was so he was given his mother's last name. Later on in his life, he changed his name to his stepfather's name (and his stepfather is believed to have been his real father), Hiedler, which was misspelled into Hitler, but the change stuck.
