It turns out Donald Trump’s eldest daughter was actually born with a different moniker.

Since her dad became the 45th US President, Ivanka Trump has constantly appeared by his side. But did you know that Ivanka isn't her real name?

When she was born in New York, Ivanka was actually named Ivana Marie Trump – the same name as her Czechoslovakian-born mother.

Although it's been public knowledge for years, a tweet from 2010 has recently resurfaced and sent the internet into a spin.

The name Ivanka is a diminutive form of Ivana, but it seems she’s just decided to stick with it.

And she’s not the only first daughter to cause confusion around her name.

Just a few months ago it was revealed that Sasha Obama was actually named Natasha.
