"Turner" came from her former husband Ike Turner; "Tina" was his grandmother's name (Tina Ramona Limentoe). "Tina Turner" is her stage name, which she kept after their divorce; she was allowed to do so, in return for Ike receiving all future royalties from the recordings she made during their marriage. Her original name was Anna Mae Bullock.
