Suri Cruise, the daughter of famous Hollywood actors Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, has quietly made a significant change as she entered adulthood—she has changed her last name. Upon turning 18, Suri decided to renounce her father’s surname and now goes by the name Suri Noelle. Her new name draws from her mother’s middle name, Kate Noelle Holmes, symbolizing her strong bond with her mother and her desire to step into her own identity as an adult.

Suri’s decision became public when she was listed under her new name during a performance in the New York musical Head Over Heels, where she played a role. It marked her first public appearance with the name “Suri Noelle,” signaling her independence and her transition into adulthood. This change signifies more than just a new name—it represents Suri’s choice to carve out her own path, distancing herself from her father’s high-profile identity and the scrutiny that comes with it.

Born on April 18, 2006, Suri’s original birth certificate listed her as Suri Cruise, which was filed 20 days after her birth. Her birth and early years were highly publicized due to her parents’ fame, with Tom Cruise’s affiliation with the Church of Scientology drawing additional media attention. Her decision to drop the Cruise surname is seen by many as a significant and personal move.

Suri has been living with her mother, Katie Holmes, in New York City, where she has grown up largely out of the public eye in recent years. She has led a relatively quiet life despite her famous parents, and now, as a young adult, she seems to be embracing her autonomy. In a recent sighting, Suri was seen walking confidently through the streets of New York, sporting headphones, a symbol of her independent spirit and her transition into a life where she makes her own decisions.
