Although there was some hypothesis concerning the origins of Kylie and Travis’ son’s identify from languages like Hebrew and Greek, Kihm tells The U.S. Solar it is easier than that.
“The that means of Kylie’s Aire is just ‘air,'” Kihm says.
“She is utilizing it as a phrase identify — albeit, with a poetic, extra ‘name-like’ spelling — which supplies the identify its that means.
“There’s a whole lot of significance behind the identify Aire,” she provides.
“It’s a nature identify, sure — and Kylie loves these, suppose Stormi, Wolf, and Rose, considered one of her different favourite names — however it’s a significant selection together with her son’s birthday.
“Aire is an Aquarius, an air signal, and he was born on 2/2/22 — thought of angel numbers.
“Aire is a actually heavenly identify, connecting to his angelic birthday.”
It is definitely extra “spiritually vital” than Wolf, the unique identify Kylie picked for her son.
“It’s also extra gender-neutral than Wolf, which is at present completely used for boys,” she provides.
It is rarer, too: In 2021, Wolf was used for 105 child boys (together with 39 named Wolfe), and fewer than 5 infants of both intercourse have been named Aire that very same yr.
One other level in Aire’s favor is that the moniker matches proper in with Kylie’s daughter’s identify.

In fact, there’s additionally one other that means — as social media customers have identified, “Aire” sounds similar to “ayr,” a slang phrase in Arabic for a sure male physique half.
However Kihm says it is fairly troublesome to analysis each attainable that means of a reputation in each different language, so she does not fault Kylie and Travis for this — and does not see it being an actual subject.
“If there’s a widespread secondary or tertiary language in your space, then completely do your due diligence and ask round,” she says.
“However by and enormous, a reputation with an inappropriate that means in a language that your little one isn’t usually uncovered to received’t be a difficulty.”

Actually, Kihm thinks Kylie’s more likely to set a development together with her identify selection.
“The Kardashian-Jenners are consultants at popularizing uncommon names — Saint, Dream, and Stormi rose quickly the years after they have been used,” she says.
“Aire is unlikely to be an exception.
“In fact, not all Kardashian names have change into hits —notably: North and Chicago.
“To take action, a reputation has to suit present traits, as Aire does. It has loads moving into its favor: Aire is a unisex identify and a nature identify — two large classes proper now.
“It’s additionally a homophone with Inheritor, which is already a rising selection. We expect Aire and all sound-alike names (Inheritor in addition to literary surname Eyre) will rise in years to return.”
