Meaning behind Kelsey Parker’s baby name
Podcast host Kelsey shared they had named their son Phoenix, which has a few heartbreakingly beautiful meanings.
Phoenix is a strong, evocative name with a rich mythological background, suitable for both boys and girls, and carries connotations of renewal, resurrection and resilience. According to The Bump: “There is no greater name associated with rebirth and transformation than the beloved Phoenix.”
Another definition for the word explains: “A person or thing of unique excellence or matchless beauty; a paragon.”
The Oxford English dictionary defines the word Phoenix as: “A bird resembling an eagle, but with sumptuous red and gold plumage, which was said to live for five or six hundred years in the deserts of Arabia before burning itself to ashes on a funeral pyre ignited by the sun and fanned by its own wings. Only to rise from its ashes with renewed youth to live through another such cycle.”
A person of unique excellence or matchless beauty.
Kelsey revealed the name as she shared a heartbreaking poem for her son. She wrote: “We named you Phoenix, brave and bright. A soul of love, of warmth and light.”
