Editing Eadweard Muybridge (section)

== Names ==
Edward James Muggeridge was born and raised in England. Muggeridge changed his name several times, starting with "Muggridge". From 1855 to 1865, he mainly used the surname "Muygridge".{{sfn|Solnit|2003|p=7|ps=}}

From 1865 onward, he used the surname "Muybridge".

In addition, he used the pseudonym ''[[Helios]]'' (Titan of the sun) for his early photography. He also used this as the name of his studio and gave it to his only son, as a middle name: Florado Helios Muybridge, born in 1874.<ref>"Exhibition notes", ''Muybridge Exhibition'', at [[Tate Britain]], January 2011.</ref>

While travelling in 1875 on a photography expedition in the Spanish-speaking nations of Central America, the photographer advertised his works under the name "Eduardo Santiago Muybridge" in [[Guatemala]].{{sfn|Solnit|2003|p=148|ps=}}

After an 1882 trip to England, he changed the spelling of his first name to "Eadweard", the [[Old English]] form of his name. The spelling was probably derived from the spelling of [[Edward the Martyr|King Edward's]] Christian name as shown on the plinth of the [[Kingston coronation stone]], which had been re-erected in 1850 in Muybridge's hometown, 100 yards from his childhood family home. He used "Eadweard Muybridge" for the rest of his career.{{sfn|Solnit|2003|p=7|ps=}}<ref>Paul Hill ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=WQtUAAAAMAAJ&q=+seven+Saxon+kings+ Eadweard Muybridge]'' Phaidon, 2001</ref>
