The Kardashian family tree grows taller every year, with momager Kris Jenner now boasting six children, four step-children (from Caitlyn Jenner’s side) and eight grandchildren – her latest baby girl born to Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, arrived on February 1 2018 after months of speculation about Kylie’s pregnancy.
With two new babies arriving in the first five weeks of 2018, and with Khloe Kardashian revealing that she is also expecting to give birth in the spring, there’s even more Dashlets to add to the klan.

So far, none of the Kardashians, or their partners, have picked especially common names for their youngsters.

What do each of their chosen baby names mean? Let’s find out…

Stormi

Birthday: February 1, 2018

Parents: Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott

Kylie kept her pregnancy a complete secret, even after her own father Caitlyn Jenner confirmed the news in late 2017.

But she didn’t do the same with the name, revealing on Tuesday that she’s called her first born Stormi. She is yet to reveal the meaning behind the name, but fans believe it could have been inspired by Doctor Who!

She gave birth in February at the age of 20 and confirmed the happy news with an emotional video documenting her pregnancy, baby shower and labour, which was attended by her mum and sisters.

In a statement accompanying the video, Kylie revealed why she kept the news to herself.

I’m sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions,” she told fans.

“Pregnancy has been the most beautiful, empowering, and life changing experience I’ve had in my entire life and I’m actually going to miss it.”

The emotional video titled To Our Daughter was uploaded to YouTube following the announcement.

At the end of the documentary, a first look at Kylie baby is revealed as viewers were shown a glimpse of her arm and a leg.

The message: “To our daughter. February 1, 2018. 8lbs, 9oz. 4:43pm,” then flashes across the screen before the movie comes to an emotional end.

The day after the announcement broke, pundits were pushing Krystal as the odds-on favourite for Kylie’s first baby name.

North West
Birthday: June 15, 2013
Parents: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
In the purest case of life imitating art, North’s name actually came from media reports speculating about what Kim and Kanye would call their first-born.
As Kim later told GQ magazine: “It was a rumour in the press and we’d never really considered it seriously, at all, but Kanye and I were having lunch right over there at that table about a year ago and Pharrell [Williams] came over to us and said, ‘Oh, my God, are you guys really going to call your daughter North? That is the best name.’ I said, ‘No we’re not, that’s just a rumour.”

She then had a similar encounter with the editor of US Vogue, which sealed the deal.
“Then a little while later Anna Wintour came over and asked the same thing. She told us, ‘North is a genius name.’ Kanye and I looked at one another and just laughed. I guess at that point it sort of stuck.”
Kim’s mum Kris Jenner also spoke about the meaning of the name, telling The View: “The way [Kim] explained it to me was that North means highest power and she says that North is their highest point together.”

North is usually shortened to Nori when Kim speaks about her daughter.

Saint West

Birthday: December 5, 2015
Parents: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
While many speculated that Kimye would pick ‘South’ for their second baby, they actually went with something… even more ridiculous. Saint is, of course, has religious connotations and goes with dad Kanye’s Yeezus nickname – although there are two schools of thought as to why they picked the moniker.

One is that the proud parents wanted to confirm how much of a “blessing” it was to have a healthy son at the end of Kim’s tricky pregnancy; the second is that it pays tribute to her late father.
“One of the reasons Kim and Kanye went with the name Saint is that it goes perfectly with the middle name they chose, ‘Robert’,” a source told HollywoodLife at the time.

“Kim has always considered her dad to be a saint. So Saint Robert is ideal.”
However, just like his big sister, Saint doesn’t have an official middle name.

Chicago West

Birthday: January 15, 2018
Parents: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Chicago is Kimye’s third child and was their only one born to a surrogate mother using their egg and sperm, as Kim suffered from a potentially life-threatening condition called placenta accreta with her previous pregnancies.
She arrived in early 2018 weighing 7lbs 6oz and her proud parents announced her name a few days later on Twitter and Kim’s app.

It’s thought their daughter is named after Kanye’s hometown in a sweet tribute to his late mother. The city takes its name from a native American word for ‘wild garlic’, which used to grow prolifically in the Chicago area.
Chicago will mostly go by the nickname Chi, pronounced ‘shy’, her aunt Khloe revealed on Twitter.

Maison Dash Disick

Birthday: December 14, 2009
Parents: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
Mason was the first children born to the Kardashian sisters, with mum Kourtney choosing not to pass on the family tradition of picking monikers beginning with ‘K’. Mason comes from the French for stonemason – someone who builds using stone – and was first used in the Middle Ages. It’s become the third most popular name in the US in 2016.
Kourtney also gave Mason the middle name Dash as a shortened version of her own surname – and the name of the sisters’ popular boutique chain, though Kourtney cleared up those rumours soon after he was born.

“Dash is not for my clothing store, as some people have suggested online,” she told Life & Style magazine in 2010.
“That would be stupid. Dash is short for Kardashian, and it was my father’s nickname.”
She added that Mason was the only name she liked when she was looking at baby names, and said it stuck with her throughout her pregnancy.

“Right before he was born, I told my aunt we were thinking about going with that for a name. She told me that Mason means the same thing in English that Kardashian means in Armenian — stone worker.
“Another aunt told me my great uncle used to use the name Mason when he made dinner reservations, because Kardashian was too long. When I heard that, I thought, Oh my god, it’s meant to be.”

Penelope Scotland Disick

Birthday: July 8, 2012
Parents: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
Penelope means ‘weaver’ in Greek and was the name of the character in The Odyssey who waits patiently for 20 years for her husband to return from sea. It can be shortened to Penny, Nell, Nellie and Poppy, although her parents and aunts tend to call her ‘P’.

Her middle name was also intended as a tribute to her dad, Scott, and was suggested by Kourtney’s grandmother, Mary Jo Campbell, when she was pregnant.
When Penelope was born – like Mason, on camera for Keeping Up With The Kardashians – little Mason was confused by her name.

“Her name is Penelope,” she told him.
“No, her name is sister,” he replied.

Reign Aston Disick

Birthday: December 14, 2014
Parents: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
Reign – pronounced ‘rain’ – is an English version of the French règne, meaning the ‘rule of sovereign’. It can be used for boys and girls, although the female version is usually spelled Reyne.
Aston comes from the Anglo-Saxon name Athelstan, meaning ‘king’, so little Reign actually has two regal-sounding names.

Kourtney explained her decision behind the name, saying she has always waited for her babies to be born before she settles on one.
“I actually had the name on our list with Mason,” she told People magazine. “Then with Penelope, I had it on the list but spelled Rain.
“Once I found out I was having a boy, we just changed the spelling again,” she added.

King Cairo Stevenson

Birthday: October 16, 2012
Parents: Blac Chyna and Tyga (Rob Kardashian was his stepfather)
The Anglo-Saxon name King means ruler, although the name actually has Germanic and Old English roots in the word cyng.
Dad Tyga may have been inspired by rapper T.I’s naming of his son Clifford Joseph III, who also goes by King.

Tyga has also used the royal title to refer to himself over the years, and his girlfriend Kylie Jenner – who, confusingly, is also aunt to Chyna’s baby girl Dream – has been referring to herself as King since she started dating him.
It’s not known why the parents chose Cairo for the little boy’s middle name.

Dream Renee Kardashian

Birthday: November 10, 2016
Parents: Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian

This tiny member of the Kardashian klan probably has one of the most out-there names. Chyna had said from early on in her pregnancy that she wouldn’t be picking a ‘K’ name just to suit the rest of Rob’s family, and confirmed that both she and Rob were in agreement about it.

A source told People magazine how ‘Dream’ may have come about, revealing: “Rob and Chyna had the name Dream for a long time. They named her Dream because they’ve always said she’s a dream come true.”
Chyna also passed down her own middle name to her daughter. Renee is from the French for ‘reborn’, and as Chyna’s real name is Angela Renee White, she thought it a fitting tribute.
