It was a beautiful day indeed when little Max Liron joined Christina Aguilera and her husband Jordan Bratman in the world. Last week the pop singer finally gave birth the a fabulous bouncing baby boy but it wasn't for several days that she released an announcement, and shared with the world her new love's name--and the meaning behind it.
According to the Perez Hilton website, your source for all things celebrity-baby related, the word "Liron" means "My Song" in Hebrew. "Max" means "the greatest." Hence, Max Liron is Christina's greatest song. For a woman known for her amazing voice, that may be the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
Far too often we end up with celebrity kid names that veer so far off the charts it's hard to imagine calling and asking for that person on the phone. Of course to each their own, and we can only assume that the most common and the most unusual celebrity baby names have significant meaning for the parents.
The name Max Liron is gorgeous and elegant, much like the singer herself. Mama Christina has certainly come a long way since those ass-less chaps she paraded around in.
And now she is the mama to a brand new boy with a beautiful name. Congratulations, Christina!

donna said...Good for Christina and Jordan. I always thought she had it more together, more staying power and more talent than Britney. Congrats and best wishes. Love the name. BTW, Ralphdemattia I think the babydaddy is Jewish, hence the hebrew name.

Panya said...In Hebrew, lamed-yud [לִי, usually spelled li or lee] means "mine, my." Resh-vav-nunsofeet [רוֹן, usually spelled ron or ran] means "song" or "joy." So Liron [לִירוֹן] means "my song" or "my joy."

Ralph DeMattia said...Considering that she ISN'T Jewish, what is the purpose of giving yet another hollywierd brat such a silly name. And what also is the purpose of her "honoring" something (religion) that she's never seemed to have much respect for before?

Ali said...For Ralph Dematia, how about the fact that her husband is Jewish... I'm not Greek but that's where my name derives from. What a silly waste of time to post such a silly comment. If you don't like her, why did you even open up the article... As for Christina from one proud (Jewish) mother to another, congratulations

Erica said...This is for Ralph...don't comment if you don't know the story. Christina's husband is Jewish & they were married in a Jewish ceremony. So, yes, using a jeweish name IS appropriate & yes, she DOES have respect for religion.
