His Dad gave hime the nickname when he was a child. He cahnged his name to Michael because he hated the name Marvin due to an ad for Levi's jeans that stated "Everyone can wear Levi's...except Big Marvin".

I thought it was because the initials of M~eat L~oaf matched those of Marvin Lee, and it there fore gave rise to the humourous name "Meat-Loaf-A-day".....
