Last night, Beyonce finally gave birth to her and husband Jay-Z’s first child – a daughter which they named  Blue Ivy Carter.

While the baby’s name was initially reported by the media as “Ivy Blue” and becoming the number one trending topic on Twitter people are already trying to breakdown the meaning behind the child’s name.

Russell Simmon’s website Global Grind offered the following analysis:

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.

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.” Ivy contains the roman numeral IV as it’s first two letters, which we all know is the number 4.

That is an interesting take on the name of Blue Ivy Carter, who on Saturday just became the new first child of Hip-Hop.
