Sure we do. It explains it in his entry in Jiminy's Journal:

A swordsman who wields the Gunblade. His real name: Squall Leonhart. He escaped to Traverse Town when the Heartless raided his home world. To part with his old self, a man who had been helpless to stop them, he changed his name. Since meeting the king, who has been so vigilant against the Heartless, Leon has sought the truth behind the "key".

Just saying though, KH Squall/Leon isn't the same person as FF Squall. Yeah, he's based after him, but the two aren't one in the same.

I think both names suck. But since I'm a FF fan I prefer Squall.

he changed his name because he failed to protect the people of radiant garden.

He changed his name because he realized it sounded way hotter, duh.

 

[King Thanatos]

According to Jiminy's journal, he changed his name because he wasn't able to protect the people of Radiant Garden.

I say he was just sick of being compared with FF8 Squall.

He felt guilty and weak for his inability protect Radiant Garden when it was overrun by Heartless, so he made use of a different name to distance himself from his past.
