John Denver's real name was Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. When a performer has a long or very ethnic-sounding name, it is common in the entertainment business for that performer to change it to something that is easier to spell or pronounce. Many movie stars, singers, and actors have done this. In John Denver's case, his father was in the military and his family traveled a lot. Colorado was one of his favorite states as a kid, and he decided upon "Denver" both as a way to honor his love for Colorado and as a way to have a simple name that fans would have no trouble remembering.

No - John Denver was served divorce papers on his 15th wedding anniversary. This was due to the many affairs that John Denver had while he was singing on the road.

What was singer John Denver's real name?
Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was John Denver's brith name - and this was never changed. John Denver was a stage name only. All of his houses, airplanes, land and personal items were under the name of Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. His two adopted children go by Duetschendorf - and his only biological daughter - Jesse Belle goes by Denver (mom married John Denver for the name!!). He was also give the Indian name "Chemigwetch" which means "He Who Sees Eagles" I am a Big Fan of John Denver, always have been and always will be. I would like to correct something though about Johns Indian name. I don't know who came up with the name "Chemigwetch" meaning "He who see's Eagles" But whom ever did needs to re study the Algonquin Language. "Chemigwetch" is actually saying a " A Great Thank You" the correct way to spell it is "Chi Miigwech" Chi meaning Great, Miigwech Thank You. Miigwech, Jerry R. (Odawa) I was told by a person that John Was given the name "Chemigwetch" - which in Chippewa translates to "He who sees eagles". He was given this name in a formal ceremony - I THINK in about 1979. It is on my YouTube triubute to his music and life called "FINALLY - The John Denver Accident - The Truth" which I made based 100% on the NTSB Final report (LAX98A008) and the Monterey County Sheriff 's Coroners Postmortem Report (#97-227) of which I have a hard copy of both. This was made to end rumors that he was drunk/on drugs when he crashed - his final autopsy found NO TRACE of drugs or alcohol in his body.
