This means the special name of Daley Blind's baby

Footballer Daley Blind and his wife Candy-rae have become parents again. On Instagram, Candy-rae shares a photo with their third child. “We are so in love! Meet our son Ledger Blind,” she writes. The little boy is named Ledger, a name with a special meaning.

Ledger is not a common name in the Netherlands. The name comes from Old English and refers to men who belonged to ancient warrior groups and were part of large tribes in the Middle Ages. These groups were known for their bravery and strength. Men with the name Ledger received a lot of respect and had a protective role in their society. The youngest Blind thus carries a powerful name full of courage and bravery.

The couple seems to like a pattern. The names of their older son and daughter also start with the letter L. In 2019, they welcomed son Lowen Dace. Lowen is also originally English and means joy and beloved friend. Dace comes from French and Latin and means ‘of nobility’ and brightness. The name refers to a sense of honesty and dignity. Lowen Dace is thus a loving and powerful combination.

In 2021, daughter Lemae Lourdes Fiore was born. Lemae possibly comes from the Greek word ‘lemos’, which means soft. The name refers to a gentle and soothing person. Lourdes refers to the city in France that is venerated in the Catholic faith and refers to healing. Fiore comes from Italian and means flower. The name Lemae Lourdes Fiore is thus a combination of softness, healing, and beauty.
