If you thought RuPaul was RuPaul's drag name, you'd be wrong. It's actually his given name. What does the Ru in RuPaul represent?

Answer It's from "roux," an ingredient in gumbo

RuPaul's mom loved to cook cajun foods like gumbo, and Roux is the base used to make stews like that. Strangely, he was born in San Diego, not in the deep south.
