Rewind to a few months ago, specifically in March 2024, when Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer, shocked everyone by announcing she had secretly welcomed a baby with her husband, Michael Lewis. She only shared a little glimpse into her life as a new mom, but didn’t share any details about her baby. However, Auntie Lady Eliza Spencer did spill the beans a bit when she commented under the post, saying, “My perfect little Niece ????????????.”
After that, though, we didn’t hear much from the new family of three. That is, until now, when Kitty not only confirmed that she did welcome a daughter, but also shared her beautiful name!
In case you missed it, on June 30, Kitty shared a stunning black-and-white snapshot of her and her daughter sitting by a windowsill. She shared the post with the caption reading, “Athena watching the world go by ???? ???? by @susheelschroeder.”
You can see the photos HERE!
In the photo, we see little Athena looking so adorable in a bee-patterned white dress, looking out the window alongside her beautiful, loving mother. It’s such a sweet sight to see. And can we talk about her name?!
Athena is such a magical, powerful name; and we love that Kitty and Lewis gave it to their daughter. For those who don’t know, Athena is a Greek name from mythology, based on Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and War.
However, per Nameberry, the actual Greek meaning behind the name is simply “from Athens.” It’s risen wildly in popularity in the US, ranking about 76 out of 1000; and quite a few celebrities have named their child Athena as well.
Tina Fey gave her daughter Penelope the name Athena as a middle name, as well as Dave Bautista named his daughter Athena. Along with Bautista, boxer Tyson Fury, French model, and actress Laetitia Casta, and Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet have all named one of their children Athena.
Both beautiful and elegant, this name is truly a perfect dreamy pick!
For those who don’t know, Spencer and her husband, businessman Lewis, started dating in 2018. They got engaged one year later in 2019, and had a three-day celebration outside of Rome in 2021 for their nuptials. They now share one daughter together, named Athena.
These celebrities have guarded their babies’ names like a state secret.
