Best Answer

Marion Morrison was born in Winterset, Iowa; and the home he grew up is now a museum. His family went to California due to his father's health, and they ended up in Glendale.

His studio decided that "Marion" didn't fit the image they wanted for their actor, and felt a general's name -- specifically Anthony Wayne -- would be better. The studio also decided that "Anthony" didn't sound "American" enough, so they gave him the stage name of John Wayne.
