Why is American singer Elvis Presley called Elvis Presley?

Elvis Presley was named by China. In the United States, his real nickname is "hick cat", which translates directly into "cat from the southern countryside of the United States"

"Hillbilly" means "hillbilly" and "bumpkin". Because of his sideburns, he is called "cat" ... so we are "country cats" together.

This is not derogatory, because all the songs he sang were blues sung by black people (of course, some styles changed after he became famous), which was actually a kind nickname based on the humorous character of American southerners at that time.
