Ariana Grande<\/a> is sharing the heartfelt reason behind using her full name, Ariana Grande-Butera, in the credits for the upcoming Wicked<\/em><\/a> movie. <\/p>\n \u201cTechnically, it’s my little girl name! It’s little Ari name,\u201d she revealed, explaining it was the name she grew up with. \u201cI just feel like this experience was such a homecoming for me. I feel like I came home to myself in a lot of ways through what I learned from Glinda, from Elphaba,\u201d Ariana shared during a radio chat.<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cThat was my name when I went to see the show when I was 10 years old. It felt like a really lovely way of honoring that. It felt really full circle. It just felt like something I wanted to do.\u201d<\/p>\n Ariana’s full name combines her mom Joan Grande<\/strong> and dad Edward Butera<\/strong>\u2018s surnames. The \u201cWe Can’t Be Friends\u201d artist chose to shorten her name professionally, similar to her half-brother Frankie Grande<\/strong> \u2013 whose parents are Joan and Victor Marchione. The 41-year-old performer was born Frank James Michael Grande Marchione<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Read more at Variety<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Plus, Quincy Jones<\/strong>, Chloe Grace Moritz<\/strong>, Jason Kelce<\/strong>, James Van Der Beek<\/strong> news, and more!
