Born to a 14-year-old single mother, Bonnie Sue Clark..., Koresh described his early childhood as lonely. Due to his poor study skills and dyslexia, he was put in special education classes..., Vernon Howell filed a petition in California State Superior Court to legally change his name "for publicity and business purposes" to David Koresh..., Koresh is the Biblical name of Cyrus the Great a Persian king who is named a messiah for freeing Jews during the Babylonian captivity. His first name, David, symbolized a lineage directly to the biblical King David, from whom the new messiah would descend. By taking the name of David Koresh, he was "professing himself to be the spiritual descendant of King David, a messianic figure carrying out a divinely commissioned errand"...
