Is his original last name Brilliant? ArrowStomper 15:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, as you can see from the quoted explanation he provides. If you mean was he born with a different name, I think he's mentioned in other places (interviews) that it is his actual birth name. — Loadmaster (talk) 17:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I received an email from Lee Brilliant, a family member of Ashleigh's, who explained the last name "Brilliant":

From:   REMOVED@brilliantfamily.org Sent:   Apr 3, 2012 9:33 AM To:      David R Tribble Subject: Info on your article about Ashley Brilliant I saw your article about Ashley Brilliant in Wikipedia and would like to pass on this info for what it is worth regarding the origins of his name. I know Ashley. He came to one of our Brilliant family reunions but we do not know how he is related, even though he looks like my brother. The name "Brilliant" is a transliteration of the Russian word for "Diamond" or "gemstone" which sounds just like our English word "brilliant." When my grandfather came to America, his name was transliterated to Brilliant but most of his relatives' names were translated to Diamond. So I have photos of family functions in which my grandfather Brilliant appears but where most of the relatives were named Diamond. When my son served a mission in the Ukraine, people made a great deal of comment about his name and told him the meaning of it. Submitted by Dr. Lee Brilliant

(The original email is available on request from me.) I think we could incorporate this info into the article, but I'm not sure how to attribute/cite it. — Loadmaster (talk) 18:11, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
