On Thursday, Gigi Hadid revealed the name of her and Zayn Malik's first child together: Khai.

In the four months following her daughter's birth, the 25-year-old supermodel refrained from sharing the child's name with the public and posting photos of the infant's face on social media.

Hadid finally announced the moniker by updating her Instagram bio to read, "Khai's mom."

According to the Evening Standard, Khai means "the chosen one," "royalty," or "nobility" in Arabic. Hadid's father, Mohamed Hadid, is of Palestinian origin, and Malik's father, Yaser Malik, is British Pakistani.

It's also possible that Hadid and Malik named their daughter after some of the women in the supermodel's family, E! News pointed out. Hadid's paternal grandmother was named Khairia Daher Hadid, and Hadid's younger sister is named Isabella Khair Hadid.

Hadid hasn't confirmed the meaning behind Khai's name though.
