Beyoncé hints at the meaning behind Blue Ivy's unusual name with telling Tumblr post
As far as celebrity baby names go, Blue Ivy is perhaps the most unique.
And after much speculation surrounding the name of her daughter with Jay-Z, Beyoncé has now hinted at her reasons behind choosing it.
The singer, 30, posted a passage on her official Tumblr from Rebecca Solnit's 2005 novel, A Field Guide to Getting Lost.
The excerpt focuses on the significance of the colour blue, beginning: ‘The world is blue at its edges and in its depths.’
And the final sentence Beyoncé posted seems to summarise the power of the colour as it reads: ‘The light that gets lost, gives us the beauty of the world, so much of which is in the color blue.’
A picture of the descriptive words sits on the star’s website above an image of her resting her hand, which is decorated with teal nail varnish, against her cheek.
It seems Beyoncé is a big fan of
Solnit and the author may have had some influence over the Love on Top
singer when it came to naming her first child.
Blue Ivy was born on January 7 and ever since fans of Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been speculating the symbolism behind the unusual name.
Some have thought it may not be a coincidence that Jay-Z has released three Blueprint albums in the last ten years.
And the colour features in the lyrics of the star’s track Go Crazy, where he raps: ‘My favourite hue is Jay-Z blue.’
Meanwhile it is widely believed that the name Ivy is intended to reference the Roman numeral IV, as the number four bears lots of significance for the power couple.
The pair were married on April 4, 2008 and 4 is the title of Beyoncé’s latest album.
In addition the singer’s birthday is September 4 and her hip hop star beau’s is December 4.
