Harpo's real name is Adolph Arthur Marx but he legally changed his name to his given name Arthur Marx sometime in 1911 because he did not like the name Adolph. There is a legend that he had it changed because of the German Adolph Hitler but Adolph Hitler was an unknown 22 year old at the time Harpo changed his name.

Who was Adolph Marx?
Adolph Marx was the brother of Leonard, Julius, Milton, and Herbert Marx. Around 1911, Adolph changed his name to Arthur (this had nothing to do with Hitler; he simply didn't like the name "Adolph"). However, that particular name change was of little significance, because by that time he was already known as "Harpo" (which had nothing to do with Winfrey). It is rumored that his brothers were tagged with similar nicknames. References: Harpo Speaks! by Harpo Marx and Rowland Barber Virgin Books; New edition edition (9 May 2002) ISBN-10: 1852271906
