Kylie Jenner's son's name means something rude in Arabic (but something nice in Irish) (2024)

For one of the most famous influencers in the world, Kylie Jenner did a hell of a job to keep her son's name private until now.

Jenner's second child with rapper Travis Scott was born almost a year ago in February 2022, but despite sharing many details of her life online and on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', she managed to keep the little fella's name secret - initially announcing that his name was Wolf, before telling fans that she had changed her mind.

However, Jenner took to Instagram the other day to finally share a picture of the adorable little'un, as well as his name - which is Aire (pronounced 'air').

The name means 'Lion of God' in Hebrew - but as many fans have pointed out on social media, it doesn't translate well to Arabic, as 'aire' is slang for 'my penis', at least in the Lebanese/Palestinian/Syrian dialect of the language.

Umm should someone tell Kylie Jenner she renamed her son Aire which is a common Arabic expression for ‘my penis’ or nah?

idk what the ruckus is about "Aire" meaning penis in Arabic, they literally have people named "Dick" and that's penis in that same language

However, at least Kylie can take consolation in the knowledge that it translates to something much nicer in Irish, where 'aire' means 'care' - as in 'tabhair aire' (take care).
