6 Years After Their ‘Heavenly’ Blessing, Serena Williams and Husband Alexis Ohanian Turn to the Bible to Find a ‘Strong’ Name to Their Second Child

Serena Williams‘ post-retirement dream has come true! The 41-year-old American tennis legend expressed her desire to become a mother once more when she announced her retirement from the sport last year. After shocking everyone with an amazing pregnancy news at the Met Gala a few months before, on August 23, Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian welcomed their second baby girl, Adira River Ohanian, into the world.

Just a few weeks ago, the 40-year-old American entrepreneur shocked the entire family by revealing the second child’s gender. And now he’s done it again by ingeniously revealing the name of his daughter. While the name of their first daughter, Olympia, has a deep Greek God significance, the couple chose a completely different but equally profound name for their second kid.

Recently, the Reddit co-founder shared a rare moment they introduced their second baby girl to the world. Ohanian took to his Instagram account to share a beautiful post welcoming his daughter, Adira River Ohanian. Once again, Ohanian shared the joy of becoming a parent and proudly shared a religious connection behind their second daughter’s meaningful name.

With that heartfelt note, the American tennis legend’s husband turned religious and shared a quote from the Bible, emphasizing the deep meaning of the name. “Your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea.”

The phrase describes a potential propensity towards bodies of water in terms of how one might connect to the strength and power of the ocean while still being noble. Moreover, the actual meaning of Adira River Ohanian, according to the Bible, stands for “noble, majestic, mighty, and powerful” in Hebrew.
