Moreover, a resurfaced interview from The Ellen DeGeneres Show, shared via TikTok, features Billy Ray Cyrus delving into the significance behind Miley’s original name:
“Before she was born, you know I had this vision that her name should be – this is going to be a long story,” he begins. “Destiny Hope Cyrus is her real name, but from the time she was born, she always had a smile on her face. We started calling her Smiley, and that gradually transformed into Miley.” He also shares his belief that it was her destiny to bring hope to the world.
The revelation has sparked a variety of reactions from fans, evident in their comments:
“I never knew her real name was Destiny Hope.”
