Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter, Suri, has legally dropped her father's surname, changing her last name from Cruise to Noelle. The 20-year-old, who is studying at Carnegie Mellon University, made the change according to records obtained by Fox News Digital, marking a symbolic step away from her famous surname as she carves out her own identity away from the public eye her parents have long occupied.

The name change was noted in a voter registration report, which confirmed Suri's enrolment at Carnegie Mellon University. Neither Cruise nor Holmes has publicly commented on the decision, and further details about the timing or reasoning behind the change have not been disclosed.
