James Achilles Alefantis was named after his father. The Alefantis name goes back at least three or four generations. Alefantis did not change his name. It's pure coincidence Alefantis is similar to children or whatever in French.
Alefantis mentioned in an interview he grew up around Buffalo, NY. A Google search led me to his grandmother's obit. So drop the name angle, it's a red herring.
