The year 2025 has been particularly special for Bollywood as several celebrity couples welcomed new additions to their families. What caught everyone's attention were the unique and meaningful names these stars chose for their little ones, each carrying deep significance and cultural roots.
Star-Studded Parenthood: Bollywood's Newest Additions
Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra, who captured hearts with their fairytale wedding, became parents to a baby girl in July 2025. The couple named their daughter 'Saraayah', a name derived from Hebrew origins that beautifully means 'God's Princess'. Interestingly, the name also cleverly incorporates elements of both parents' names, creating a special connection to their famous portmanteau.
Another power couple, Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha, welcomed their son in October 2025 and chose the name 'Neer'. The Sanskrit name symbolizes water, representing purity, fluidity, and the essence of life. Parineeti shared that the name reflects their belief in something 'pure, divine, and limitless', making their son the true 'Zehnaseeb' (fortunate one) in their lives.
Meaningful Monikers with Cultural Roots
Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul introduced their baby girl as 'Evaarah', a name that signifies 'the gift of God'. The cricket-Bollywood duo expressed that their daughter is 'our baby girl, our everything', capturing the immense joy and gratitude they feel as new parents.
In a beautiful blend of cultural heritage, Sshura Khan and Arbaaz Khan named their October-born daughter 'Sipaara'. The name has Persian and Arabic origins, referring to a division of the Quran while also meaning a flower or a beautiful woman. The couple shared a glimpse of their newborn on social media a month after her birth, delighting fans who had been following their journey.
International Influences in Celebrity Baby Names
Ileana D'Cruz and Michael Dolan welcomed their second child in June 2025, naming their baby boy 'Keanu Rafe Dolan'. The name carries multiple cultural meanings - in Hawaiian, it suggests 'cool breeze over the mountain', while Scandinavian roots interpret it as 'the wise wolf' or 'god has healed'. The actress announced the birth and name on social media, sharing the first adorable pictures of their newborn.
Amy Jackson and Ed Westwick, who became parents in March 2025, chose the strong name 'Oscar Alexander Westwick' for their son. With Irish and Old Norse origins, the name means 'champion warrior' and 'divine spear', reflecting both strength and nobility. The couple shared heartfelt family pictures that received overwhelming love from fans and well-wishers worldwide.
These carefully chosen names not only reflect the personal preferences of the celebrity parents but also showcase the beautiful diversity of cultural influences in modern Indian parenting. Each name tells a unique story and carries blessings for the newest members of Bollywood's extended family.
