Miley Cyrus' grandfather was Ronald Ray Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus' father. She was very close to him and legally changed her birth name from Destiny Hope Cyrus to Miley Ray Cyrus in honour of him (she was nicknamed Smiley as a child, which then became Miley).

Ron Cyrus (b. July 10th 1935, d. February 28th 2006) was a Democratic politician and public servant in Greenup County, Kentucky.

What is Miley Cyrus new name?

The way that Miley Cyrus changed her name from Destiny Hope to Miley Ray was with her father, Billy Ray, and her mom, Tish. Miley needed her birth certifacte and about $50 or something. I believe that's what the amount was. So, if you want to change your name, go ahead and copy. She doesn't really mind. Just know that someone did it first.
