Yvette Marie Stevens is the real name of Chaka Khan [b. March 23, 1953]. Khan changed her name to Chaka while volunteering with the Black Panther's Free Breakfast for Children program in Chicago, Illinois. Khan participated in an African naming ceremony at the Afro-Arts Theater. In the ceremony, Khan was christened Chaka Adunne Aduffe Yemoja Hodarhi Karifi by a Yoruba priest. Khan was added on to the end of her African names, with her marriage to bass guitarist Hassan Khan.
