Best Answer

Satchmo, dippermouth and Little Louie.

He was known as Satchelmouth, which was contracted to

Satchmo, as an alternative, Pops

Satchmo came from a mispronunciation of Satchelmouth, which, along with many other names (such as dippermouth, as mentioned above), referred to his wide smile. Supposedly Louis was talking to a journalist who knew of the nickname and attempted to use it but stumbled and pronounced it as Satchmo. Louis took a liking to the term and kept it. After travelling around the country (and if I'm not mistaken, the world) doing tours, Armstrong was known as "Ambassador Satch".

Pops was an affectionate nickname given by his close friends and family.
