REAL NAME
Bob Marley’s real name is Robert Nesta Marley. While everyone knows his name, what is less known was that the full name he went by in adulthood, Robert Nesta Marley, was an alteration of the name he had been given at birth: Nesta Robert Marley. But rather than the change being Marley’s own decision for the sake of adopting a catchy stage name. Bob Marley rolls off the tongue the same way Bob Dylan does. It was actually the singer’s mother who made the decision shortly after her baby was born.
