CAIUS CHAI: HERE IS THE MEANING AND PRONOUNCIATION OF STEPHEN AND AYESHA CURRY’S SON’S NAME

Ayesha and Stephen Curry announced on Sunday that they have welcomed their fourth child together! The NBA star and his wife revealed their newborn son’s name to be Caius Chai, sparking curiosity among fans about the pronunciation and meaning of his unique name. Let’s dive into its meaning and how to say it!

Pronunciation and Meaning

Caius (pronounced KAI-us) is a name with rich historical roots. While some might associate it with a character from the Twilight series, its origins are much deeper. This Latin name translates to “rejoice,” “glad,” “delight,” and “pleased”—emotions that perfectly capture the joy of welcoming a new baby. Caius is an elegant alternative to the name Gaius and carries a classical charm, having been used by various Shakespearean characters and even a third-century pope.

Chai (pronounced /tʃaɪ/) might first bring to mind the beloved spiced tea, but its significance in Hebrew culture is profound. In Hebrew, Chai means “life” and symbolizes vitality, good luck, and blessings.

Though the Curry family does not have Jewish heritage, Stephen Curry has a known affinity for Hebrew culture; he sports two Hebrew tattoos, including a New Testament quote on his wrist.

The Joyful Announcement

Stephen and Ayesha shared the news on Instagram on May 26, revealing that their son, Caius Chai, made his early debut two weeks prior. Their post featured a sweet photo of the newborn’s tiny hand and part of his head.

“Our sweet baby boy decided to make an early arrival!!” they wrote. “He’s doing great and we are finally settling in at home as a family of 6! So grateful! Caius Chai 5/11/24.”

Baby Caius joins older siblings: Riley, 11, Ryan, 8, and Canon, 5.
