Canadian country singer Shania Twainâs original name is Eilleen Regina Edwards. Born in Windsor, Ontario, in 1965, she took the surname of her stepfather, Jerry Twain, at a young age. While recording her first album in 1991, she changed her first name to Shania, meaning âIâm on my way,â a nod to her stepfatherâs Ojibwa heritage.
