Malcom X changed his last name from little to X as he believed it was the name of a slave. During slavery, the slaves that were kidnapped from Africa were taken to the west indies where they were kept as slaves. They would have been given the last name of there slave master so the master knew what slaves were theirs. Malcom X changing his last name is also another example of how he believed whites were the creators of everything wrong in the world. - hope this helps

Why did they put the x on Malcolm X?
i nthe time of black slave, a slave took the last name of their owner. malcom x became independent of that when he gave up his slave name for the variable x which represents his true last name that he lost to the slave owner. =========================================================== Above is a different answer from what I heard on a different website. Malcolm X isn't his REAL name. The Malcolm was given to him by one of his teachers and the X is an unknown thing in math, so that's how he made his name... Malcolm 'Unknown'
