Congrats are in order for the Carters!!
Beyonce gave birth to a baby girl at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, New York early this morning. Well, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Jay and Bey who were born on the 4th, (Jay-Z b-day is Dec. 4th and Bey on Sept 4th) and married on the 4th (February 4th), and their daughter is birthed on the 8th (4+4 =8) of January.
The couple has name their child Blue Ivy Carter.
Gossip site GlobalGrind breaksdown the name for us.
We’ll start with the baby’s first name, Blue. The obvious; Jay-Z’s franchise albums have been called the Blueprint. Blue consist of 4 letters which can be linked to Beyonce’s love for the number four, and a tribute to her husband.
As far as the color blue, it’s considered the coolest color of the spectrum. Ancient Egyptian used blue to represent the heavens. Blue also symbolizes the Virgin Mary. The color represents inspiration, sincerity and spirituality.
Next, let’s break down the middle name, Ivy. Beyonce has gone on record saying how important the number “4” is to her. She told Billboard Magazine, “We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It’s the day I was born. My mother’s birthday, and a lot of my friends’ birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date.”
With the number being so special to her, it makes sense that she would incorporate her favorite number into her child’s name.
Ivy contains the roman numeral IV as it’s first two letters, which we all know is the number 4. The name itself Ivy comes from the plant which symbolizes eternity. Greek and Roman societies admired the ivy plant for its hardiness and longevity. They believed the plant aided fertility. Could this mean more children for Beyonce and Hova?
This is the couples first child.
