New York name-change records are automatically sealed or sealable on request, complicating the timeline of Suri's surname change and suggesting she may have completed the change in New York before moving to Pennsylvania.

Public records show Suri registered to vote in October 2024 in Allegheny County under the name Suri Noelle, indicating that Noelle is now her legal name for official purposes; she attends Carnegie Mellon University in the area.
Suri Cruise, the 20-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, has legally dropped her father's surname. She is now Suri Noelle, according to Nine. Public records show she registered to vote in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania in October 2024 under the name Suri Noelle.
The name change marks the latest and most formal step in Suri's growing distance from her father. She has used Noelle publicly for more than a year, including at her 2024 high school graduation, where the program listed her as Suri Noelle.
Voting Records Confirm Noelle as Her Legal Name
Suri registered to vote in Allegheny County in October 2024, during her first year at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. The registration lists her legal name as Suri Noelle, according to The Mirror. That public record is the clearest confirmation yet that the change is official.
The exact timing of the legal filing is harder to pin down. New York state automatically seals name-change records, or allows people to request sealing, according to SSBCrack News. That means Suri may have completed the paperwork in New York before she moved to Pennsylvania for college. The sealed records make the full timeline unclear.
From LaGuardia Stage to Carnegie Mellon Drama Program
Suri has been building a performing career for years. At Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School in New York, she played Morticia Addams in The Addams Family: A New Musical. LaGuardia is one of the most competitive arts high schools in the country.
She now studies musical theatre at Carnegie Mellon University, one of the top drama programs in the United States. She took part in a one-night staged reading called Cosmic Microwave Background at Pittsburgh's New Hazlett Theater, according to El-Balad. She is also part of Midsummer!, a modern take on A Midsummer Night's Dream, which CMU students plan to debut in Edinburgh in 2026.
A Name She Has Owned Since Before Graduation
Suri did not wait for a legal filing to start using Noelle. The name appeared in her high school graduation program in 2024. That public moment drew wide attention and fueled speculation about her relationship with her father, Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes divorced in 2012, when Suri was six years old. Reports have long suggested that Cruise has had little involvement in his daughter's life since then. Dropping his surname is widely seen as a deliberate choice, according to AOL. Neither Suri nor Tom Cruise has made a public statement about the name change.
What the New Name Signals for Suri's Future
Suri is 20 years old and building an independent identity, both legally and professionally. Performing under Suri Noelle separates her public persona from her father's global fame. It also gives her a name that is entirely her own as she enters the entertainment industry.
Her trajectory — from a leading role in a high school musical to a competitive university drama program to an international stage debut — suggests a serious commitment to acting. According to SSBCrack News, the name change aligns with her private identity and her professional direction. Suri Noelle is the name she intends to carry forward.
