The famous poet Maya Angelou (1928-2014) was born Marguerite Johnson. She was called "Maya" as a nickname in her family because when they were small children her brother called her "my-uh sister." She originally used Marguerite or Rita as her professional names as a dancer, but changed that to Maya in 1954 at the urging of her managers.
