On Thursday, Gigi Hadid revealed the name of her and Zayn Malik's first child together: Khai.
In the four months following her daughter's birth, the 25-year-old supermodel refrained from sharing the child's name with the public and posting photos of the infant's face on social media.
Hadid finally announced the moniker by updating her Instagram bio to read, "Khai's mom."
As soon as Hadid changed her Instagram bio, fans began investigating a potential significance behind the name.

According to the Evening Standard, Khai means "the chosen one," "royalty," or "nobility" in Arabic. Hadid's father, Mohamed Hadid, is of Palestinian origin, and Malik's father, Yaser Malik, is British Pakistani.
It's also possible that Hadid and Malik named their daughter after some of the women in the supermodel's family, E! News pointed out. Hadid's paternal grandmother was named Khairia Daher Hadid, and Hadid's younger sister is named Isabella Khair Hadid.
Hadid hasn't confirmed the meaning behind Khai's name though.
While fans only just learned the baby's name, it appears that Malik has already gotten a permanent tribute to his daughter by tattooing her name on the inside of his wrist in Arabic.

However, the former One Direction member hasn't addressed the tattoo's significance.
The "Dusk Till Dawn" singer confirmed the baby's arrival on Instagram, writing, "Our baby girl is here, healthy and beautiful."
Malik continued, "To try put into words how i am feeling right now would be an impossible task. The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding. Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, and thankful for the life we will have together x."
