A name given to him by his grandmother because as a child, he liked to play in the muddy water of Deer Creek. There is some argument as to where this may have been, however, the location was most likely Jug's Corner, Issaquena County, Mississippi

Muddy Waters got his name from his childhood nickname, "Muddy," given to him because he liked to play in the muddy waters of the Mississippi River near his home. He later adopted Waters as his last name when he began his music career.
