What Is Dua Lipa’s Real Name?
Having a stage name is extremely common in the industry. Imagine Lady Gaga coming on stage as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, or Axl Rose rocking on stage as William Bruce Rose, Jr. It’s just not the same thing. Understandably, many fans assume Dua Lipa is also a cool name cherry picked to replace the singer’s ordinary one.

But as it turns out, Dua Lipa isn’t a stage moniker – it’s her actual name. Yup, Dua Lipa is the name the singer was born with. It’s pronounced “Doer Leaper.” She once said she hated the name growing up but has learned to appreciate it today. Dua means love in Albanian.
