Why did the Republican party drop the Democratic part in the name?

Back when Andrew Jackson was in office (the last time all debt was paid off) and shut down the central bank(s) the Republican party was called the Democratic Republican Party. Why did they drop the Democratic part. They still believe in democracy don`t they or it harder to restrain people with a democracy, or is it that when you believe the human is ultimately bad you cannot have a democracy.

lol ok if you say so
you really might want to look at your liberal politicAL party

    Oh, leave the poor Republicans alone. They’re having a hard enough time trying to figure out who they are *now* – much less 180 years ago.

    Why did the Democratic-Republicans drop the Republican part of their name?

    The Democratic Republicans were the party that eventually turned into the Democrats. The Republican Party that exists today was created in 1854. Jackson was president from 1829 – 1837.
