Paul David Hewson (bono) has lived a very interesting life from his tragedy with the loss of his mother and the struggle to reach fame.Bono is known for his intresting name but many dont know how manys he's had: first, he was "Steinhegvanhuysenolegbangbangbang”, then just "Huyseman", followed by "Houseman", "Bon Murray", "Bono Vox of O'Connell Street", and finally just "Bono". "Bono Vox" is an alteration of Bonavox, a Latin phrase which translates to "good voice". It is said he was nicknamed "Bono Vox" by his friend Gavin Friday.
