Best Answer

Tupac Amaru Shakur took the name Makaveli from a writer named Niccolo Makaveli. He was a writer from the 16th Century & he believed that faking your own death was a good polotical tactic. Many believe that Tupac faked his death because of his idolism of Niccolo Makaveli. If you listen to Tupac's song 'Hail Mary', a certain lyric backwards states "Yes, I'm alive." Think what you want-I personally think he's here with us.

His real name was Lesane Parish Crooks, but his mother changed his name at birth to protect him, as she was a Black Panther member and was recently acquitted of several charges against the government. His name was changed to Tupac Amaru Shakur after Túpac Amaru II, a Peruvian revolutionary.

Tupac changed his name in honor of his mother, his mother though that the name was strong because it means,"WARRIOR." His mothers club the Panthers changed it.

He didn't. His name is Tupac Amaru Shakur yet he abbreviated it into 2pac and many people know him as the name Makaveli.

Tupac changed his stage name to Makaveli just a little before his murder. He changed it because he read a book by the author Niccolo Machiavelli.
