Best Answer

Adolph Marx was the brother of Leonard, Julius, Milton, and Herbert Marx. Around 1911, Adolph changed his name to Arthur (this had nothing to do with Hitler; he simply didn't like the name "Adolph"). However, that particular name change was of little significance, because by that time he was already known as "Harpo" (which had nothing to do with Winfrey).

It is rumored that his brothers were tagged with similar nicknames.
