According to voter registration records from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, the Carnegie Mellon University student registered to vote under the name Suri Noelle.

The surname Noelle serves as a nod to her mother's middle name.
The young actress previously adopted the stage name during her high school theater productions at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, where she graduated in June 2024.
