Slightly off the main topic.

Mattisyahu (the singer) was named Feivish Hershel and given the secular name of Matthew Paul.

When he grew up his Hebrew name was forgotten and he took the name Mattisyahu.

Eventually the certificate from his bris was located but he was told to continue using Mattisyahu since that’s what he grew up with.
