Kylie Jenner reveals son Aire’s name has animal connection
Even though Kylie Jenner decided not to name her son Wolf, the name she chose, Aire, still has an animal association.
In the latest episode of the Hulu show “Kardashians,” the reality star revealed that the name Aire means “Lion of God” in Hebrew.
Jenner, 25, explained to her best friend Anastasia “Stassie” Karanikolaou that she always wanted a name with meaning for her son. She also mentioned that she liked that Aire is a Hebrew name.
When Jenner gave birth to her son with Travis Scott in February 2022, she initially named him Wolf. However, she immediately regretted the decision.
“That night, I cried in the shower, and I was like, ‘That’s not his name. What did I just do? Wolf?'” she recalled. “It wasn’t even on the list.”
Jenner attributed her decision to change the name to her “raging” postpartum hormones. She said, “That took me out. It was like, ‘I’m too emotional. He’s so special to me. There’s not a name good enough for him.'”
Although Jenner shared Wolf’s original name with her fans after his birth, she never actually called him by that name.
“FYI OUR SON’S NAME ISN’T WOLF ANYMORE,” she wrote on Instagram Stories last year. “WE JUST REALLY DIDN’T FEEL LIKE IT WAS HIM.”

Despite making this announcement, Kylie Jenner waited until January to reveal her son’s new name and share photos of his face.
In March 2022, Jenner and Scott filed legal documents to change their son’s name, and the name change was officially completed in June.
Even after deciding against Wolf, Kylie Jenner’s son Aire’s name still has an animal association.
The “Kardashians” star revealed in Thursday’s episode of the Hulu show that the 1-year-old’s name means “Lion of God” in Hebrew.
“I just always wanted a name for him that had meaning,” Jenner, 25, told her best friend Anastasia “Stassie” Karanikolaou. “And I like [that] it’s a Hebrew name.”
When the reality star gave birth to her and Travis Scott’s baby boy in February 2022, she named the infant Wolf — but immediately regretted the decision.
“That [second] night, I cried in the shower, and I was like, ‘That’s not his name. What did I just do? Wolf?’” she recalled. “It wasn’t even on the list.”
The makeup mogul blamed “raging” postpartum hormones, adding, “That took me out. It was like, ‘I’m too emotional. He’s so special to me. There’s not a name good enough for him.’”
While Jenner told her fans Wolf’s original name after his arrival, she “never … ever” called him by that moniker.
“FYI OUR SONS NAME ISN’T WOLF ANYMORE,” she wrote via Instagram Stories last year. “WE JUST REALLY DIDN’T FEEL LIKE IT WAS HIM.”

Despite this announcement, the Kylie Cosmetics creator waited until January to share her son’s new name, as well as photos of the little one’s face.
Jenner and Scott, 32, filed legal documents requesting the swap in March 2022, and the toddler’s moniker was officially changed that June.
The duo, who have been dating on and off since 2017, are currently not together as they co-parent Aire and his 5-year-old sister, Stormi.
Since news of their split broke in January, Jenner has been romantically linked to actor Timothée Chalamet.
Although the Hulu personality has not addressed her love life on this season of her family’s show, she did reveal Thursday that she got a boob job at age 19 and would be “heartbroken” if her daughter followed her plastic surgery footsteps.
