So, let's know what her real name is and what her stage name means.

What is the real name of Lorde?

For the uninitiated, Lorde is the stage name of the New Zealand singer, born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor in 1996. The singer began performing during her teen years and adopted the name Lorde before the release of her 2013 album, Pure Heroine. For the uninitiated, Lorde's career began early, at around 12 years old, when she signed a contract with Universal Music Group after they stumbled upon a singing video of the singer from her middle school talent show. As Lorde releases her music videos, her fans begin to discover more about her origins and personal story, which helps connect her with others and earns her international acclaim.

What is the meaning of Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor's stage name, Lorde?

For the uninitiated, Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor chose the name 'Lorde' as her stage name due to her fascination with grandeur and aristocracy. In several of her interviews, the singer has stated that she sought to incorporate the timelessness and authenticity of the name 'Lord' into her work. Well, as the term is 'Lord', which is somewhat masculine, the singer wanted to make it feminine.

For this reason, she took a unique approach and added an extra 'E' to make it look more feminine in form. It was when Lorde was just 16 years old that she chose this name for herself. In a 2017 interview with 60 Minutes Australia, the singer revealed that this was due to her fascination with nobility and aristocracy. She revealed that when she hit on the term 'Lord', she liked it so much, and she decided to add an 'E' to the name to make it feminine. She said:

"It was that nobility, aristocracy obsession that I had. I hit upon "Lord" and loved the way it sounded, and then I was like, it would be quite cool to add an "E" to feminise it."
