The Hidden Meanings Behind All Of The Kardashian/Jenner Baby Names
From Mason to Stormi.
From Mason to Stormi.
Kris Jenner
Kristen Mary Houghton is the woman who started the Kardashian Kraze. But we know her now by the shortened name 'Kris.' Her and her younger sister Karen both share 'K' names, though their parents' names were Robert and Mary Jo.
Meaning behind the 'K' names
ICYMI: All the Kardashian and Jenner sisters' names begin with the letter 'K.' Mum of all five girls, Kris Jenner, seemingly started that trend, and while she has never specifically given a reason for this, we've got to think it has something to do with her name and her late husband Robert Kardashian's last name.
The reason the family isn't keeping the 'K' theme
There's soon to be nine Kardashian/Jenner babies, but not a single one of them has a name that starts with the letter 'K' – which seems odd. But according to reports, Kim didn't want to use a K name because she thought the tabloids would find a way to refer to her family as the KKK (because Kim, Kanye, and baby K would make three K's). Keep clicking to find out how Khloé Kardashian might bring back the 'K' trend.
Mason Dash Disick
Born: December 14, 2009
Parents: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
Meaning behind the name Mason
Mason was an obvious name for Kourtney to choose. '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,' Kourtney told MTV. 'Another aunt told me my great uncle used to use the name Mason when he made dinner reservations, because Kardashian was too long.'
Meaning behind the middle name Dash
Surprisingly, Mason's middle name does not come from his mom's clothing store like some people have suggested. 'That would be stupid. Dash is short for Kardashian, and it was my father's nickname,' Kourtney clarified to MTV.
Penelope Scotland Disick
Born: July 8, 2012
Parents: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
Meaning behind the name Penelope
Penelope is a classic Greek name meaning 'weaver' and it's associated with The Odyssey. But Kourtney and Scott just picked the name because it was cute, according to momager Kris Jenner. They call her 'P' for short. The birth of little P was kept hidden from the media—though her arrival was announced only a few hours after Kourtney was checked out of the hospital.
Meaning behind the middle name Scotland
Kris Jenner had suggested the name Scotland as a middle name for Scott and Kourtney's second child, and the two loved it. So when she was born, there was no doubt that was the middle name for baby P.
North West
Born: June 15, 2012
Parents: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Meaning behind the name North
North was originally a rumored name, though Kimye had no intentions of using it. In an interview she explained how they ended up actually choosing that name. Kim said Pharrell came up to her and Kanye and asked if they were going to call her North because he thought it was really cool. But Kim shot down the idea. Then she said, '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.'
Rumored baby names
North was humorously thrown out as a potential name by people, but we know it ended up sticking. Others thought Kimye would keep with the 'K' names and suggested Kaidence Donda West or Kai Georgia Donda West. People were convinced Kanye would honor his mother who passed in 2007 by incorporating the name Donda.
Reign Aston Disick
Born: December 14, 2014
Parents: Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
Meaning behind the name Reign
It was a name Kourtney had on her list since she gave birth to her first baby, Mason. She told People, 'I'm never certain [with names] until they're born.' The name re-appeared on her list again when she was pregnant with Penelope in 2012—but it she had it spelled like 'Rain' instead of 'Reign.' And the Keeping Up With the Kardashians finally gave the name to her third born, claiming sole credit for the name, though people have a feeling Scott had something to do with it too, since he calls himself 'Lord Disick.'
Meaning behind the middle name Aston
Reign's initials spell out 'RAD,' which was purposeful as Kourtney seems to use them in reference to him in her Instagram photos.
Saint West
Born: December 5, 2015
Parents: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Meaning behind the name Saint
Kim and Kanye decided to take their son's name a different direction (pun fully intended). A source told E! they had been referring to him as 'Saint' throughout the nine months 'because she had such a difficult pregnancy.' He was 'a blessing' to the couple who have since opted to use surrogacy to have another child to avoid any more pregnancy complications.
Rumored baby names
Kardashian fans believed Kimye would name their son South, for obvious reasons—it goes with their daughter North's name. Kim quickly shot down those rumors in an interview with NPR when she said, 'I don't like South West, though, because that's like—you know, North will always be better.'
Dream Renée Kardashian
Born: November 10, 2016
Parents: Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna
Meaning behind the name Dream
Before she was born, her parents had already agreed upon her name. 'Rob and Chyna had the name Dream for a long time,' a source told People. 'They named her Dream because they've always said she's a dream come true.'
