Anna Eleanor Roosevelt's maiden name was actually "Roosevelt". In fact, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was actually a distant cousin of hers, as both were from the same prominent New York family. Eleanor Roosevelt did not have a different "median" name before marrying FDR as her maiden name was already Roosevelt.
