The Great Gatsby Why does Gatsby change his name? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 04 Dec 00:22
Gatsby changes his name from Gatz ot Gatsby in order to hide his past from anyone. He also thinks that Gatsby is more befitting someone who comes from a wealthy background. He's reinventing himself and part of that is a name change.
