Beyoncé - ACT II - Vinyl Cover + context from Tina on the name "Beyincé" from 2020:
"It's interesting, because a lot of people don't know that Beyoncé is my last name. It's my maiden name. my name was Celestine Beyoncé, which at the time was not a cool thing, to have that weird name. I wanted my name to be 'Linda Smith,' because those were the cool names. I think me and my brother Skip were the only two out of seven siblings that had the spelling B-E-Y-O-N-C-E.
It shows you the times - because we asked my mother when I was grown. I was like, 'Why is my brother's name spelled 'B-E-Y-I-N-C-E?' And my mom's reply to me was like, 'That's what they put on your birth certificate." So I said, 'Well, why didn't you argue and make them correct it?' and she said, 'I did one time, the first time, and I was told, 'Be happy that you're getting a birth certificate,' because at one time Black people didn't get birth certificates. They didn't even have a birth certificate, because it meant you really didn't exist. You weren't important. It was that subliminal message.
And so I understand that that must have been horrible for her, not to even be able to have her children's names spelled correctly.
They were like, 'How dare you have a French name.' Like, 'We're gonna screw this up real good for you.' And that's what they did. So we all have different spellings.
People don't even put the two together and know that that's the same name now, but it is.
-Tina Knowles
