The reasons behind her decision to change her name remain undisclosed.

ABC News has reached out to Pitt's representatives for comment.

In July, Shiloh issued a legal notice in the Los Angeles Times for several weeks stating that she proposed a name change from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie.

The legal notice was to comply with California law, which requires those petitioning to change their last name to show cause form in a newspaper at least four weeks in a row before the court date to avoid a delay in the process.

Shiloh's name change comes eight years after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt in 2016. They were reportedly declared legally single in 2019 by a judge, but their divorce has yet to be finalized. They are also parents to Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.

Over the years, the actors have been embroiled in legal battles over custody of their children and disagreements related to their shared business interests and properties, including a French winery.
