為英國王室的成員起名絕非一時興起;每當迎來新出生的寶寶,王室都會賦予他們承載了家族傳統與歷史的名字。部分名字是為了紀念敬愛的祖輩,例如喬治小王子的名字已經延用 7 次;劍橋公爵的名字最早可以追溯到 11 世紀的威廉一世。如今的 Helena,Beatrice 以及 Louise 亦是延用了王室先輩的名字。薩塞克斯公爵夫婦的兒子 Archie 的名字中包含了 Harrison,意為「Harry’s son」(哈里的兒子);他們女兒的名字 Lilibet 則是為了向英女王致敬。

除此之外,其他皇室寶寶的名字又是從何而來呢?以下為你一一揭曉。

Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi(2021)

貝翠絲公主 Princess Beatrice of York 與 Edoardo Alessandro Mapelli-Mozzi 在今年 9 月迎來了他們的第一位小公主;其中 Elizabeth 正是延用了英女王的名字;而因為其父親來自意大利,所以這位小公主有了 Sienna 這個意大利名字。

Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana(2021)

是薩塞克斯公爵夫婦(the Duke and Duchess of Sussex)的女兒,他們曾解釋過小女兒名字的由來:Lili 來自英女王的乳名;Diana 無疑是為了緬懷戴安娜王妃。

August Philip Hawke(2021)

是尤金妮公主 Princess Eugenie of York 與 Jack Brooksbank 的兒子;尤金妮公主曾透過 IG 說兒子的名字「來自他的歷代祖父」;其中August是艾伯特親王(Prince Albert)的教會名,Philip 是為了致敬菲臘親王,Hawke 則是出自父親 Jack Brooksbank 的家族。

Archie Harrison(2019)

是薩塞克斯公爵夫婦(the Duke and Duchess of Sussex)的兒子;他名字中的Archie來自希臘文的「arche」,意為勇氣與智慧;Harrison 的意思無疑是「Harry’s son」(哈利的兒子)。

Louis Arthur Charles(2019)

是劍橋公爵夫婦(the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge)的小兒子;他的名字Louis中的s不發音,是對菲臘親王的舅舅、前任皇家海軍元帥 Louis Mountbatten 的致敬;Arthur是威廉王子的中間名;Charles則無庸置疑是來自威廉王子的父親查理斯王子。

Charlotte Elizabeth Diana(2015)

是劍橋公爵夫婦(the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge)的女兒;無需解釋便知道,Charlotte 來自喬治三世的王后夏洛特(Queen Charlotte);Elizabeth 來自英女王;Diana 則來自威廉王子的母親戴安娜王妃。

是劍橋公爵夫婦(the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge)的大兒子;George 是公認的最具王者風範的名字,畢竟英國王室歷史上已經出現過六位名叫 George 的國王;等現今的喬治小王子繼位時,他將成為第七順位。Alexander 則來自其祖母戴安娜王妃的中間名 Alexandra。

Eugenie Victoria Helena(1990)

是約克公爵夫婦(the Duke and Duchess of York)的小女兒;其中 Eugenie 來自古希臘文中的「eugenia」,有「貴族」的含義。儘管在王室並不常見,但 Eugenie 這個名字具有深厚的文化歷史,事實上,維多利亞女王的孫女就曾用過這個名字;Helena 則是維多利亞女王第五個女兒的名字。

是約克公爵夫婦(the Duke and Duchess of York)的大女兒;Beatrice 同樣來自維多利亞女王的第五個女兒;Mary則來自貝翠絲公主的曾曾祖母,喬治五世的妻子 Mary of Teck。

William Arthur Philip Louis(1982)

是威爾斯親王與戴安娜王妃的大兒子;據說威爾斯親王想給自己的大兒子,同時也是王室未來的王位繼承人「Arthur」這個名字;但戴安娜王妃並不喜歡這個名字,於是他們決定用 William 這個經典的名字。王室歷史上已經有多位名叫 William 的成員,包括來自 11 世紀的統治者 William the Conqueror。
