Jackie Chan's real name is Chan Kong-Sang, which translates into born in Hong Kong.
Jackie at age 17, worked as a stunt man and extra in the Hong Kong film industry, but the industry wasn't very strong and Jackie moved to Australia with his parents.
That's when Jackie got his name. He took jobs working at a restaurant, and a construction site. The Aussies, who are known for nicknaming, couldn't quite spit out the name Chan Kong-sang. One of the workers he worked with was named Jack, so Jackie was nicknamed little Jack, and eventually it went on to Jackie, and stuck ever since.
