What is Madonna's last name?
Some people only need one name to get the point across. Among this echelon are some of the greatest within their discipline: Pelé, Slash, Cher, Bono, and Flea, to name a few.
But then there's Madonna, who seems to hover above nearly all other one-namers in pop-culture history. And maybe all of history (sorry, Voltaire).
But she does have a last name, and in fact, she's never changed her name. What's Madonna's surname?

Correct Answer: Ciccone
The answer is: Ciccone. The Queen of Pop’s birth certificate lists her full name as Madonna Louise Ciccone. She hasn’t officially shortened it — “Madonna” is merely a stage name. As a child she was nicknamed Little Nonnie, since her mother was also named Madonna Louise. The surname Ciccone is traced to the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. It’s derived from Cicco, an affectionate form of the name Francesco. Source
