The straw hat passed from Roger to Shanks to Luffy. Its clearly a symbol of the Will of D. With the reveal the Lily was a D, it proves that D status can be adopted and that even a celestial dragon could in theory become a D.
Shanks is probably one of such people. GIven how, much like Sabo, he was constantly surrounded by Ds. In his case, Roger, Teach, and Luffy.
Imo, given how Shanks takes so much after Roger, it only makes sense that he would adopt the D and fully reject his celestial dragon status. Hence while his birth name was Figarland, his true name is Figarlan D.
