All of the Unique Meanings Behind the Names of the Kardashian and Jenner Kids

Keeping Up With the Kardashians — baby names edition! From Kris Jenner’s first-born grandchild, Mason, to one of the family’s more recent addition, Psalm, the famous brood has a long list of unique monikers. While some names have specific meanings behind them, others were simply given to the little ones because their parents liked the way they sounded. Kim Kardashian and her husband, Kanye West, made headlines for their daughter’s direction-based name when they welcomed their eldest child, North West, in June 2013. However, weeks later, momager Kris stepped in and defended the decision for the name, explaining the sweet reason the pair dubbed her North. "I love the name North. I'm pro-North, absolutely,” Kris said during an interview on The View at the time. The KKW Beauty founder and the “I Love It” rapper have since welcomed two sons and a second daughter. (More on their names below.) [jwplayer FD4Dtttx-l3ahXupL] Exes Kourtney Kardashian and ex Scott Disick, for their part, once revealed that Mason’s moniker was an easy decision because they didn’t like any other name at his time of birth. His younger siblings, Penelope and Reign, weren’t tough moniker decisions for the on-again, off-again couple either. Youngest sibling Kylie Jenner put her own unique twist on naming her first child, daughter Stormi, with boyfriend Travis Scott in February 2018. The Kylie Cosmetics creator, who is also the mother of son Wolf, told her Instagram followers in a March 2019 Live that even though she liked the name “Storm,” she wanted her daughter to also have an “ie” sound at the end of her moniker. “I had one more name that I liked,” the makeup mogul explained in the video at the time. “I had two names that I honestly liked better than Stormi, but when I had her, I felt like she chose her own name. I just couldn't imagine any other name other than Stormi." Rose was “No. 3 in line,” Kylie went on to say. As for her and Scott's second choice, it was a “weird” one that “just didn’t work” for the infant when she arrived. “I don’t want to tell you guys just in case I use [it] one day,” she concluded. Khloé Kardashian, for her part, had the help of her grandma "M.J." Shannon when it came to deciding on what to call her baby girl, True.

Mason Dash Disick

“Dash is short for Kardashian, and it was my father's nickname,” Kourtney revealed to Life & Style of her older son’s name. She added at the time that Mason was the only moniker that stuck out to her while looking at baby names. "Right before he was born, I told my aunt we were thinking about going with that for a name. She told me that Mason means the same thing in English that Kardashian means in Armenian: stone worker,” she explained. “Another aunt told me my great uncle used to use the name Mason when he made dinner reservations, because Kardashian was too long. When I heard that, I thought, 'Oh, my God, it's meant to be."

Penelope Scotland Disick

Though “P”, as they call her, doesn’t have a specific meaning behind her first name, Kourtney and Scott’s only daughter’s middle name is a play on the proud dad's moniker.

North West

“The way [Kim] explained it to me, north means highest power, and North is their highest point together,” Kris said. “I thought that was really sweet."

Jay Leno put the unique moniker on Kim's radar when he joked about it in a 2013 interview. "I was like, ‘No way. I would never name my daughter that.’ I said that on his show," the Selfish author told Kylie in a January 2020 YouTube video. "Everyone was coming up to me, like, 'It's such a cool name. You should really think about it.' And Pharrell [Williams] had all these meanings."

Reign Aston Disick

"I actually had the name on our list with Mason,” Kourtney revealed shortly after welcoming her youngest child in December 2014. "Then with Penelope, I had it on the list but spelled Rain. Once I found out I was having a boy, we just changed the spelling again.”

Dream Renee Kardashian

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna’s daughter arrived in November 2016, and the little one's first name means “joyous music.”

Chicago West

A classic reason for the little girl’s name comes from the midwest city dad Kanye West was born and raised.

Saint West

Kim and Kanye chose the name as they dubbed their son as a “saint” throughout the KKW Beauty founder’s pregnancy, since she had such a rough time.

Stormi Webster

“When I was pregnant, I used to call her Stormi when I would talk to her in my belly,” Kylie said in an Instagram Live video in March 2019. “It just always feels right. … I just couldn’t imagine any other name other than Stormi.”

True Thompson

Though the Good American cofounder was open about her struggle to settle on a name ahead of welcoming her only child in April 2018, she later explained that it was with the help of a family member that she was able to choose. “My grandma MJ suggested True. She told me it was my great-grandfather’s first name and my grandfather’s middle name,” Khloé wrote on her Khloé With a K. app. “It stuck with me for my entire pregnancy and was the only one I couldn’t get out of my head."

Psalm West

The addition of Psalm to the Kardashian-West clan was not completely unexpected to those who have been following the couple. Merriam-Webster defines the word "psalm" as a "sacred song or poem used in worship, especially one of the biblical hymns collected in the Book of Psalms." That meaning would certainly fit with West's Sunday church services. "It's honestly more like a healing experience for my husband," the businesswoman told Elle magazine of West's church ventures. "It's just music, there's no sermon. It's definitely something he believes in, Jesus, and there's a Christian vibe. But there's no preaching. It's just a very spiritual Christian experience."

Aire Webster

Kylie and Scott initially opted to call their son Wolf before eventually settling on Aire. The moniker — which is pronounced like “air” — has Hebrew origins, meaning “lion of God.”
