In 2024, Shiloh was granted a name change and now goes by Shiloh Jolie, while Zahara has made a few hints that she could have changed her name too.
On May 17, when she stepped out last month for her college graduation for a Bachelor of Arts in psychology, there was another suggestion about the name change.
Although she was listed in the commencement programme as Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt, when she went to collect her diploma her name was read out as Zahara Marley Jolie.
Last year, she introduced herself as she became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc, and said in a video shared by Essence: “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie.
“And [I] landed all the way from the Golden State in the city full of angels: Los Angeles, California.”
At the event, she gave a speech about mother-daughter bonds and reflected on how the love she and Angelina share is a “found one” after she was adopted by her parents as a baby in 2005.
“It felt challenging to find the words,” she said.
“Not challenging because I don’t value it, but because my mom and I have a unique, almost kindred relationship that can be hard to put into words.”
“I was adopted at 6 months old and given some of the most special and loving people as my siblings, with a mom who raised us on the value of helping others, being kind and always striving for growth as people.
“I am grateful to have had a role model show me what it looks like to be a decent human being.”
