Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's controversial name for their son might have something to do with their eldest daughter, Stormi.
When the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star had her second child with her then-boyfriend in February 2022, the parents dubbed their son Wolf Webster. However, the former couple eventually decided the moniker did not suit their little angel.
Aside from keeping fans guessing about their child's name, the pair protected his privacy by only sharing glimpses of his feet and other body parts without ever showing his face.
Now, Kylie has dropped the highly-anticipated facial reveal alongside her baby boy's name. Like his older sister, Stormi, the TV personality's bundle of joy is the epitome of cuteness, but there is more connection between the siblings beyond their resemblance. Keep scrolling for more details!
Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott's Son's Name Was Inspired By Sister Stormi
Finding the right name for one's child is no easy task. Not only does it represent the parents' hopes for their offspring, but it is also a stamp to separate the child from the crowd.
Given the importance behind a name, it is understandable why Jenner and Scott took the time to give their second child a moniker. However, the best things require patience, and the parents' endurance yielded a unique name.
On Saturday, the "Life Of Kylie" star finally made the big reveal and disclosed that her son's new name is Aire. As expected, the unusual name struck a chord amongst fans, but a source is explaining why they opted for the unique moniker.
The insider told HollywoodLife that the reality TV star and the rapper named their son "Aire" to compliment their daughter's name and for its significance in the Semitic language. In the source's words:
"Kylie and Travis chose the name 'Aire' for a couple of reasons. One is it went well with the elemental name that they chose for their firstborn, Stormi. It seemed to fit. In Hebrew, the name translates to Lion of God. It symbolizes strength and courage."
Per The Blast, although it took eleven months to share her son's new name, the entrepreneur softened the long wait with first-time pictures of the baby's face. The California native updated her Instagram page with four precious snaps of the second youngest Kar-Jenner grandchild.
The first was a mirror selfie that captured the makeup mogul rocking a cropped hoodie while carrying Aire in one hand. Another picture was a close-up view of the 11-month-old, who bore a striking resemblance to his mother's younger self with his big eyes, cute little nose, and rosy pink lips.
The last two slides captured the mother and son bonding, while the final image showed the infant seated on a high chair with traces of his meal smeared on his bib. These adorable pictures were captured with a white heart emoji and the word "AIRE."
As you might know, the businesswoman and her ex-boyfriend welcomed their son on February 2, 2022. Days after his birth, the proud mother-of-two publicly shared her child's name as Wolf Webster. However, the "Life of Kylie" star rectified her statement weeks later, revealing the former couple had dropped the term "Wolf."
In an Instagram Story, the 25-year-old wrote, "FYI, OUR SONS NAME ISN'T WOLF ANYMORE. WE JUST REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS HIM. JUST WANTED TO SHARE BECAUSE I KEEP SEEING WOLF EVERYWHERE."
Similarly, the media personality discussed the mystery surrounding her son's name while filming her family's Hulu series, "The Kardashians." On the show, Jenner admitted that the name Wolf was suggested by her older half-sister, Khloé Kardashian.
The Shocking Theories Behind The Kylie Cosmetics Founder's Son's Name
The Blast previously reported that Jenner's announcement about her son's new name caused mixed reactions on social media. Some fans did not know if the child's moniker was pronounced "air or airey," a question the fan page @kyliesnapchat asked in a post.
Thankfully, Jenner noticed the upload and clarified that Aire was correctly pronounced as "air" in the comment section. However, the confusion did not end there! Since the mother-of-two has not discussed the meaning behind her son's name, there have been multiple theories about the subject.
An interesting theory stated that "Aire" could be short for "Billionaire." For those unaware, the 25-year-old was previously named a self-made billionaire by Forbes before the status was revoked. However, this meaning was far better than what the journalist Antoinette Lattouf revealed on Twitter.
The media personality wrote, "Umm should someone tell Kylie Jenner she renamed her son Aire which is a common Arabic expression for 'my penis' or nah?" Given the journalist's shocking revelation, fans should keep their fingers crossed about Aire being the last name change.
