Real Name: Erica Abi Wright

Erykah Badu born Erica Abi Wright changed her first name long before she became a famous singer. She first opted to spell it as Erykah, with the latter syllable kah holding a deeper meaning. Apparently, it means inner self. She eventually swapped out her last name for "Badu." The latter is an African name and her favorite scat sound to make, too.
