Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez's baby name revealed: Couple chose heavenly moniker for their little 'gift from God'
|
What's old is new again for Halle Berry and her husband Olivier Martinez.
On Monday the name of their son, born Saturday in Los Angeles, was leaked and it's rather unusual.
Proud parents: Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez, pictured in 2011, have chosen an unusual name for their new son
They reportedly selected for a middle name Robert, after the French actor's Spanish father. The last name is Martinez.
Maceo originally comes from Spain and was popular from the ninth to 14th centuries. It morphed into Matteo then Matthew over time.
The name translates to Gift Of God. It's easy to figure out how Halle landed on that name because she several times said her pregnancy was a 'miracle.'
Baby #1: Halle's first child Nahla spotted in LA on Saturday with her father Gabriel Aubry
On the day Maceo was born, Halle's first child, daughter Nahla, was seen holding the hand of her birth father, model Gabriel Aubry.
She looked excited as the two strolled on the sidewalk.
The five-year-old has reportedly been thrilled about the arrival of her younger sibling.

E! Online reported that Berry had delivered her latest bundle of joy at Cedars Sinai Hospital, where countless celebrity children have been born over the years.
The delivery came just a day after the Catwoman star had been spotted out in West Hollywood at restaurant Rivabella looking ready to pop in a sheer shirt covering her huge bump.
This is the second child for the 47-year-old Die Another Day star.
As for the first-time dad, the Parisian S.W.A.T. actor told People: 'My son will remain an American, but I will remain French,' he explained. 'I remain a Frenchman in America, but I adapt to American culture.'
Berry and Martinez were married in a stunning ceremony in Vallery, France, in July where she wore a beautiful Jenny Packham gown.
The Monster's Ball Oscar winner was previously married to baseball player David Justice in the early 1990s and to singer Eric Benét in the early 2000s.
Ready for baby: The 47-year-old actress had called her latest pregnancy 'a miracle'
While motherhood is obviously the only thing on her mind right now, the 47-year-old actress has just signed on to star in a serialised drama coming to CBS next summer called Extant, a 13-episode thriller.
Berry will play an astronaut trying to reconnect with her family when she returns after a year in outer space. Her experiences lead to events that change the course of history.
The series is being made in partnership with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television, which made last summer's surprise hit for CBS, Under the Dome.
