Jonah Hill’s current legal name is Jonah Hill Feldstein, but The Wolf of Wall Street actor wants to drop Feldstein’s name.
Jonah Hill Requests To Change His Name

In a petition obtained by The Blast, Jonah Hill said his reason for changing his name was simply, “’Jonah Hill’ is the Petitioner’s professional name. The petitioner wants to make his professional name his legal name.” Jonah has a long list of credits under his professional name, and sometimes it’s easier to have your professional name match your legal name on paper. For example, actors always sign contracts for new projects and if they have a stage name, there may be extra steps to ensure the contract is legally binding if their legal name is a completely different name. Luckily for Jonah Hill, he just dropped the last name, and made his middle name his official last name.
Interestingly, Jonah Hill has a sister who is also in the entertainment business. Her name is Elizabeth Greer Feldstein, and most people know her as the actress “Beanie Feldstein. Beanie recently starred in the hit Broadway revival, “Funny Girl,” and after a six-month run, actress Lea Michele took over. Fun fact, Lea Michele’s legal name is Lea Michele Sarfati, and like Jonah Hill, Lea’s professional name is her first and middle name.
Three Famous Feldsteins

There are actually three famous Feldstein siblings. Jonah Hill’s late brother, Jordan Feldstein, was also involved in the entertainment industry, as the manager of the group, Maroon 5. Jordan tragically died almost five years ago, at the age of 40, from a blood clot. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office listed Jordan’s cause of death as “pulmonary thromboembolism, a pulmonary embolism resulting from a clot originating elsewhere in the body” and “deep leg vein thrombosis,” a blood clot.
As we previously reported, some other celebrities who want to legally use their professional names. Most recently, Aaron Paul filed a petition in Los Angeles, asking a judge to change his name from Aaron Paul Sturtevant to just “Aaron Paul”. In fact, Aaron’s petition also included his wife and son to have the last name “Paul” legally. Kanye West filed a petition earlier this year to change his name from Kanye Omari West, to “YE”. Kanye’s reason for changing his name was for “personal reasons”.
Kylie Jenner Changes Her Child’s Name

Kylie Jenner experienced a name change situation this year when she announced on her social media that she and her partner, rapper Travis Scott, decided they would no longer call their son “Wolf”. Travis Scott’s legal name is Jacques Webster, and his son’s legal name was originally Wolf Jacques Webster. Kylie took to her Instagram to explain the situation and wrote, “FYI OUR CHILDREN’S NAMES ARE NOT WOLVES ANYMORE. WE JUST DON’T FEEL LIKE HIM. JUST WANT TO SHARE BECAUSE OF ME. KEEP SEEING WOLVES EVERYWHERE.” Kylie and Travis have yet to announce their son’s new name, but they will need to file a petition in court to legally change his name.
Jonah Hill’s name change petition still needs a judge’s signature, but the process is pretty straight forward. The name change decree will most likely be issued in about a month or so.
