Yes, her name was Betty X. Her maiden name was Betty Jean Saunders.
The surname "Little" was bestowed upon his ancestors by people who had kidnapped them from Africa and enslaved them, therefore it was not a legitimate name. The name X indicated that he was in some way unknown (like an algebraic variable) to the European-dominated culture of the US.
