Born Name

Peter Gene Hernandez

Nick Name

Bruno Mars, Little Elvis

Bruno was the nickname given by his father, when he was only two. This is because of his resemblance to famous professional chubby wrestler Bruno Sammartino.

Mars was added later, when he wanted to pursue his career in music. He used to receive the comments like he is out of this world because of his looks and personality. So, Bruno added “Mars” (a different planet) to his name.
