Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Zahara followed in her siblings’ footsteps to legally drop their famous father’s last name.

According to documents obtained by Page Six Tuesday, the 21-year-old requested her name be Zahara Jolie instead of Zahara Jolie-Pitt.

She has a scheduled Sept. 28 court hearing for a judge to rule on the motion.

A rep for the “F1” star, 62, wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

InTouch was the first to report the news.

Zahara officially filed to change her last name after she removed Pitt from her surname during her 2023 Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority induction ceremony at Spelman College in Atlanta.

At the time, the now college grad, who was 18 years old, introduced herself as “Zahara Marley Jolie.”

She also opted out of using her father’s last name when she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology in May.

Aside from Zahara, Brad and Angelina, 51, are also the parents to Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Shiloh, 20, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17.

Shiloh was the first of the exes’ kids to legally drop the actor’s last name after turning 18 in May 2024.

Most recently, Maddox filed the same request in May 2026, listing the reasons as “personal.”

Before then, the actor removed Brad’s name in the credits of Angelina’s 2025 movie, “Couture,” on which he served as an assistant director.

Additionally, Brad and Angelina’s daughter Vivienne chose not to use his last name when she helped produce the “The Outsiders” Broadway play in 2024.

The “Fight Club” star has reportedly been “devastated” by his kids’ name changes but is allegedly “not ready to give up” on them.

Brad has had a “strained” relationship with his kids since he and Angelina, who wed in 2014, parted ways in 2016 after he allegedly became “verbally abusive and physical with his children” on a private jet ride.

The duo, who started dating in 2005, settled their contentious divorce in December 2024.
