The childhood sweethearts are currently proud parents to Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia Amber, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, Athena, two, and Rico, 11 months.

And their unique monikers have certainly attracted a lot of attention, with many wondering how they came up with them. 

So what are the hidden meanings behind Paris and Tyson’s children’s names – and what ones did they cast aside when making their decisions? 

Starting with the obvious, heavyweight champion boxer Tyson has previously opened up about why he and Paris chose to call all three of their sons Prince as their first name. 

Tyson, fondly known as The Gypsy King, opened up about his thought process during a segment of his 2020 documentary. 

He explained to the cameras: “I’m a King and they’re Princes until they earn their rightful name.”

However, it wasn’t quite as plain sailing as that, as Tyson has also previously revealed that he wanted to call his first-born son a very typical name – but it was vetoed by Paris. 

He confessed: “I wanted to call the boy Patrick but the wife didn’t want it.”

But they both loved the idea of the Prince tradition, choosing that as the boys’ primary moniker, before giving them their own unique second names. 

The eldest of the three – Prince John James – also had another hidden meaning.

According to Babynames, John is of Hebrew origin and means “God is gracious”.

While Prince Tyson II, obviously named after his famous father, inherited the meaning of his name – “ember” or “firebrand.” 

While their third son Prince Adonis Amaziah has links to both Greek mythology and biblical history. 

Adonis is thought to mean “Lord” while Amaziah represents strong or of strength. 

Meanwhile, the girls have equally distinctive names as their brothers.

Tyson decided on Venezuela – inspired by the country located at the northern end of South America –  and said it was a lightbulb moment that came to him when he was in bed one night.

In an interview with The Guardian, Tyson explained: “One night, while I was sleeping, I thought of Venezuela. My wife is called Paris. I’m Tyson.

“If the girl had a normal name it wouldn’t fit in, would it?” 

So when they welcomed their next daughter, Tyson and Paris decided to continue with the world location theme.

They named their second little girl Valencia Amber, presumably inspired by the Mediterranean city. 

According to the baby name pros at Nameberry, Valencia translates to “brave and strong” . while can be known to mean “fierce”. 

Then, two years ago, along came their current youngest – Athena – which has links to the Greek city of Athens. 

Name experts have shared: “The name Athena is primarily a female name of Greek origin that means Goddess Of Wisdom and War.

“The city of Athens, Greece was named after the goddess Athena.”

When it comes to their seventh child, Prince Rico Paris Fury – the tot’s middle name is a tribute to heavyweight champion boxer Tyson‘s late cousin Rico Burton, who was murdered in 2022.

Paris said: “All of my kids have got unusual names and obviously it’s also really personal to Tyson.

“We also added my name because I’ve had seven kids and I still haven’t had one named after me, so Tyson thought, ‘Come on, it’s about time!’”

Their family tradition of naming their sons Prince as a first name, was Tyson’s idea.
