Mahershalalhashbaz Ali Gilmore
Can you pronounce it?
Here’s what Mahershala said about his actual name, Mahershalalhashbaz:
“My birth name is Mahershalalhashbaz Gilmore. In the Bible, that’s the name of the prophet Isaiah’s second son. He was instructed to write the name in capital letters on a rock, and it means ‘divine restoration’ or ‘speedy to the spoils,'” he told The Hollywood Reporter. My mom, Willicia, had a dream about it and felt very strongly it should be my name.”
