Middle Name
Roland Meisel
Can anyone settle an argument by posting the spelling of Elvis' middle
name, as it appears on his tombstone?
Thank you!
Elvis fan.

Roland,
His name correctly spelled on the tombstone is Elvis Aaron Presley.
Have a nice weekend,

The spelling of Elvis middle name on the grave stone is spelt AARON which
is the correct spelling, not Aron as many think. Gail Brewer Giorgio has
made herself rich with all this spelling on the stone speculation and I
believe she has yet another book coming out trying to convince us Elvis is
still alive. He is, in our hearts.

To the best of my knowledge Elvis' middle name was legally spelled ARON.
The story goes that Vernon and Gladys intended to Use the bibilcal
spelling AAron but Vernon misspelled it on the birth certificate! In the
70's Elvis preferred the AA spelling and began using it. i don't know
whether he changed it legally or not. This would make sense that vernon
would use the AA spelling on the Grave marker seeing he would want to do
what Elvis wanted and atone for his slight mistake 42 years before!
If marty lacker sees this maybe he can clear it up.
Always Elvis

Thanks Marty,
I guess i wasn't too far off in what i remember reading. Next time
you do an interview maybe you should bring this up and maybe, just
maybe, it will put an end to all those sick stories about - that if
Elvis' name is misspelled on the Gravestone that means he's not buried
there and MUST BE ALIVE!!!!!! I wish these folks that believe this would
grow up a little.
Always Elvis

I've always heard Elvis legally had his middle name changed to "Aaron"
later in his life, sometime around 1976.

The spelling on the kings name, to who ever it was that wanted it, is
Aaron - with two a's.
