Why did Chelsea Staub change her last name to Kane?

-Apparently Kane is her middle name. Maybe she uses it because it sounds nicer and is easier for people to pronounce and remember. A lot of famous people change their names. :-)Staub Name Meaning and History

German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational nickname for a miller, from Middle High German stoup, German Staub 鈥榙ust鈥? The Jewish surname may also be ornamental.



Aside from Kane sounding nicer a lot of people feel that having a last name with Jewish or foreign origins is undesirable due to prejudice or whatever.
