Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Beauty and the Beast doesn’t reveal the Beast’s real name, but there’s one that is widely believed to be his official name. Beauty and the Beast, released in 1991 and directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, is based on the 1756 French fairy tale of the same name by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. The movie follows Belle, a book-loving, independent-minded girl imprisoned by a Beast in his castle.
The movie never mentions the real name of the Beast. The character is even credited as the Beast instead of the Prince. Trousdale and Wise confirmed in the Beauty and the Beast DVD and Blu-ray commentary that he never had an actual name. While that might seem odd to modern movie audiences, there are often characters simply credited as "shopkeeper" or "townsperson" in animated movies. The only reason it's so unusual here is that the Beast is a main character.
Why So Many Believe The Beast's Name Is Adam Close It is believed by many Disney fans that the Beat's name is Adam despite the name not appearing in the credits. He is even listed as such on many sites dedicated to all things Disney. This is because he has appeared as “Adam” in a number of licensed products by Disney, as well as in the 1998 video game The D Show, which was actually licensed out to a company named Cyberflix, and wasn’t developed by Disney at all.

Do Other Beauty & The Beast Versions Give The Character A Name? Close There have been many adaptations of Beauty and the Beast beyond the Disney version.
2011’s Beastly starring Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens is inspired by the young adult novel of the same name, which in turn, is inspired by the fairy tale. There, the Beast is a high school student cursed by a teenage classmate who happens to be a witch. Hudgens is the young woman who ends up living with him during his isolation. There, the Beast is named Kyle.
There are also more creative adaptations of Beauty and the Beast that eliminate the prince and his beastly form altogether. That might sound impossible, but it works.
