Frida wasn’t Kahlo’s first name and her birthday wasn't the exact date

One of the interesting facts about Frida Kahlo is Frida wasn’t Kahlo’s first name and her birthday wasn't the exact date. Frida Kahlo is a well-known figure. But what if we told you that Kahlo didn't actually go by the moniker Frida or even had a first name at all? You must be in awe! Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderon was Frida Kahlo's real name. The German term Friede/Frieden, which means "peace," is where the name Frieda originated. According to some reports, she switched to the Latinized spelling of Frida, while others claim that she was born Frida and changed her name to the Germanized version in honor of her father, Guillermo (born Carl Wilhelm Kahlo, in Germany).

Wow, Frida was a true rebel. She maintains that she was born on July 7, 1910, even though her birth certificate lists her date of birth as July 6, 1907. This decision wasn't made at random. The 10-year-long Mexican revolution began in the year 1910. Frida Kahlo, who had a strong sense of patriotism, constantly aimed to speak up for the underprivileged. She did not merely dispute her birth date to seem younger; her motivation to do so was politically motivated. Kahlo rose to prominence as a symbol of Mexican culture, particularly indigenous culture.
