Sienna Elizabeth: Princess Beatrice’s Daughter’s Name Has Sentimental Meanings

Princess Beatrice and her husband Eduardo Mapellimosi have officially revealed the name of their baby girl.

Sienna Elizabeth is the name of their newborn daughter.

The Queen announced the news on social media alongside a photo of Sienna's footprints.

Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice and Mr. Eduardo Mapellimosi have named their daughter Sienna Elizabeth Mapellimosi, the caption stated.

The Queen, who now has 12 great-grandchildren, revealed that Wolfie Mapellimosi is the best big brother to Sienna.

Many royal fans will no doubt have noticed the heartfelt tribute Sienna's middle name pays to the Queen.

Elizabeth is a popular middle name choice within the royal family.

A source told Hello!

magazine that the name Sienna was chosen as a tribute to the baby's grandmother Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.

They were looking for an Italian name that started with an S for Sarah, to honour the Duchess.

The royals are known for picking sentimental names for their children, and all of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's children have family tributes in their monikers.

Prince George's full name is George Alexander Louis.

His first name is thought to be a tribute to Prince William's great-grandfather, King George VI.

He took George as his regal name when he became king after his brother's abdication.

However, his full name was Albert Frederick Arthur George, and he was known as Bertie to his family.

Louis is likely a tribute to Lord Louis Mountbatten, the Duke of Edinburgh's uncle and the late British Viceroy of India before independence in 1947.

Their Charlotte's full name is Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, with nods to both the Queen and William's mum.

Louis is yet another nod to Lord Mountbatten, and his middle names are Arthur, which he shares with his dad, and Charles, after the Prince of Wales.

Choosing a name for a future king or queen is obviously important, but there are a few royal customs that must be followed before they can announce the choice to the world.

The biggest one is informing the Queen of their decision to ensure she approves.

Normally, Her Majesty has no objections to a name recommendation, but it's thought that she was undecided when Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson decided their plan after the birth of their first child in August 1988.

Because of the Queen's concerns, it took Andrew and Sarah two weeks to formally reveal the name of their first child, The Sun reported.

This is because Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York struggled to come up with a name for their daughter after the Queen vetoed their first choice.

Reportedly, Sarah, the Duchess of York, had her heart set on the name Annabel, but the Queen announced that this name was too yuppie.

This was a term that was coined in the 1980s and referred to the horde of young, upwardly mobile professionals who made up most of the middle and upper-middle class.

Sarah's second option was reportedly Victoria, but the Queen disliked it, despite the fact that it was a very popular name among the company's betting on the new royal baby's name.

In the end, it was the Queen who proposed Beatrice as a suitable name for the newborn.

While the royal family was on vacation at the Queen's Scottish estate Balmoral Castle, the Queen made this suggestion.

Beatrice Elizabeth Mary was the name given to the princess in the end.

Her middle names are a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, her grandmother, and Queen Mary, her great-great-grandmother.

There is always a lot of excitement surrounding royal babies, and well-wishers around the world wait patiently to find out what name the couple picks for their little bundle of joy.

This year, the royal family has welcomed an August, a Lucas and a Lilibet, with the most recent addition being baby Sienna, Princess Beatrice's first daughter with her husband Eduardo Mapellimosi.

Beatrice understands the value of a good name better than anyone, as her parents had to change her name after the Queen intervened.

Beatrice's younger sister, Eugenie, who is married to Jack Brooksbank, gave birth to son August in February.

Additionally, Zara and Mike Tindall welcomed Lucas to the world in March.

Both babies were given Philip as a middle name in honour of the Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April.

In conclusion, the royal family has a long history of choosing sentimental names for their children, and Sienna Elizabeth is no exception.

The name pays tribute to both the Queen and the baby's grandmother, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.

While picking a name for a future king or queen is important, following royal customs and ensuring that the Queen approves of the name is vital.

Ultimately, the name must be one that the parents and the Queen agree on, and in the case of Princess Beatrice and Eduardo Mapellimosi, Sienna Elizabeth was the perfect choice for their little girl.
