Harris was born in 1964 to parents Donald Harris and Shyamala Gopalan.
Gopalan’s Indian heritage obviously influenced her daughter’s name.
And her middle name was Iyer.
Wait, doesn’t it start with a D?
After all, KDH are the politician’s well-known initials.
What made her parents decide to make the rare move of legally changing their daughter’s name?
However a few theories have been floated by experts.
According to Politico, the name Iyer indicates that one is from the Brahmin caste.
Brahmins are typically better off and known as being the most prominent caste in Hindu society.
Regardless of the reason, Harris' middle name was changed to Devi after a fortnight.
According to theSmithsonian, Devi is one of the most revered and powerful gods in Hindu culture.
She is multi-faceted, sometimes gentle, sometimes ferocious, sometimes playful.
