Cardi B Explains Her Name As most folks know by now, Cardi B’s real name is Belcalis Almanzar . So going from that to Cardi B seems like a bit of a stretch. But as “Bardi” explained to Wendy Williams during a recent interview, it’s a play on words loosely based on her sister’s own name. Apparently, her sister’s REAL government name is Hennesy …so that provided a natural progression of nicknames for her. “My sister’s name is Hennessy, so everybody used to be like ‘Bacardi’ to me. Then I shortened it to Cardi B. The ‘B’ stands for whatever, depending on the day…beautiful or bully.” …right. We’re sure that coming up in the Bronx that there’s other B words that she probably applied there…but okay Cardi. “No one calls me Belcalis except for my family, my mother and my daddy.” Hmm, who knew?
