Recently, Suri Cruise, who is the daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, two of the most famous actors in Hollywood, made a significant choice: she decided to abandon her father’s married name. Let’s go into the reasons behind Suri’s choice to go with such a name, as well as the fact that the new name is also a touching homage to her mother.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Suri’s parents, had a whirlwind relationship throughout their time together. In 2005, Tom made a very public declaration of his love for Katie by bouncing up and down on Oprah’s sofa. They quickly became Hollywood’s most famous couple when they tied the knot in a spectacular ceremony not long after that.
But unfortunately, their fairy tale did not continue. The divorce petition was submitted by Katie a little more than five years later, which apparently caught Tom off surprise. At the time, Suri was just six years old when she ended up becoming a reluctant participant in the media frenzy that surrounded the breakup of her parents.
Her mother acted as a protection for Suri.

One of the most prominent topics of discussion was Scientology, which was the subject of a great deal of conjecture about the reasons for the divorce. Katie was awarded exclusive custody of Suri after the divorce, which protected her from the scandals that were occurring.
Despite the fact that Tom was granted visiting rights, it has been reported that the frequency of these visits has decreased with time, with some periods reaching one hundred days. In point of fact, Tom is said to have revealed, in the course of a judicial proceeding in 2013, that Katie had filed for divorce in order to save Suri.
Suri Cruise, who had her 18th birthday not too long ago, has abandoned her father’s surname. This decision was made after her relationship with her father had been tense for a number of years. Suri chose to keep her last name “Noelle” rather than “Cruise” as her surname.

It has been said that Suri altered her name in order to pay homage to her mother, Katie Holmes. Katie brought her up without Tom having much of a role in her upbringing. The insiders claim that it is not intended to be a jab at Tom.
“Noelle” is Suri’s mother’s middle name, and she uses it as a method to “show praise” for her mother, according to a person close to Suri who wished to remain anonymous. There is also the assumption that by changing her name, she would be able to more easily integrate into the collegiate community, where she will not be continually recognized as the daughter of a well-known entertainment celebrity. Despite the fact that Suri is entering maturity, it seems that she is looking for an identity that is founded on her own merits and is independent of her link to Hollywood.
Without wasting any time, Suri has already begun using her new name in public. In the beginning, it was on the list of people to be cast in her high school play, and then it was used once again during her graduation ceremony. It is interesting to note that her diploma reflected the change in her name! There were photographs taken during the occasion that showed Suri beaming as she was presented with her diploma and her new name was announced.
It has been claimed that Suri will be attending Carnegie Mellon University in the autumn, and it is quite probable that she will continue to use her new name while she is there. It became quite evident that she had made this decision when she was shown in a TikTok video wearing the sweatshirt of the institution.
The absence of Tom made a commotion, despite the fact that Katie was there for the special day of her daughter.

When Suri graduated, her mother, Katie Holmes, was present to show her support and encouragement. The mother and daughter looked absolutely stunning in their respective ensembles. During the ceremony, Suri donned a white gown that was paired with a red graduation robe and ribbon. Katie, on the other hand, opted for a more casual style by wearing loose leggings and a long-sleeved top that was rolled up. Both of them wore their hair in a casual way and chosen footwear that went well with their ensembles.
In spite of the fact that Suri’s mother was there for the momentous occasion, Suri’s father, Tom Cruise, was conspicuously missing. Fans were eager to bring this to their attention on social media, with some expressing their disappointment and questioning his motivations for missing the event that marked a significant milestone. As an alternative, Tom was seen taking pleasure in Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
