Going by their social media, celebrity couples with newly born babies like Ranbir-Alia or Bipasha-Karan seem to be beaming with joy. However, it is the names of their tiny tots which make one wonder about the meaning behind them. So, let's take a look at 5 of the names that celebrity couples have bestowed upon their recently-born offspring, along with their meanings.

Raha Kapoor: The baby girl of Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt was named by her 'Dadi' (grandmother). Taking to her Instagram, new mom Alia Bhatt shared the meaning of the name 'Raha' in various languages. 'in Swahili she is Joy, In Sanskrit, Raha is a clan, In Bangla - rest, comfort, relief, in Arabic peace' Alia wrote. 'It also means happiness, freedom & bliss,' she added.

Aadiya and Krishna Ambani: Isha Ambani, daughter of Asia's second richest man Mukesh Ambani, welcomed twins with husband Anand Piramal this year. The couple named the children Aadiya and Krishna. Aadiya means 'Beginning' or 'First Power' and is also one of the names of Lord Shiva.

Vayu Kapoor Ahuja: Sonam Kapoor and businessman Anand Ahuja were blessed with a baby boy this year in August, and announced his name, 'Vayu', in September. 'Vayu' means 'Air' in Sanskrit. The name also belongs to the 'Lord of Winds' and the 'Deity of Breaths' in Hindu mythology.

Uyir and Ulagam: South Indian star Nayanthara and filmmaker Vignesh Shivan were blessed with twin boys earlier this year. The couple shared a sweet photo announcement of the birth, also revealing their very unique and meaningful names – Uyir and Ulagam. The couple captioned the post, “Need all ur blessings for our Uyir & Ulagam. Life looks brighter & more beautiful. God is double great (sic).” Uyir, in Tamil, means life or source of life and could denote one’s soul while Ulagam means ‘world’.

Devi Basu Singh Grover: Karan Singh Grover and Bipasha Basu took to Instagram to share the happy news of their baby girl's birth. "The physical manifestation of our love and blessings of Ma is here now and she is divine," the post read. It is no surprise, then, that they named their little one 'Devi'. The word means 'divine woman' or 'goddess' in Sanskrit.

Malti Marie Chopra Jonas: Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas revealed a unique name for their daughter, who they welcomed via surrogate this year. The couple’s daughter was named Malti Marie Chopra Jonas – a combination of the middle names of her grandmothers, Dr Madhu Chopra and Denise Jonas.

Television's 'Ram and Sita' Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina Bonnerjee welcomed their second child on November 11. They're yet to name their newly-born angel. However, earlier this year, they had their first daughter, who was named 'Lianna'. Though not so common in India, it is a common name in Western countries. It means 'to wrap' or 'to bind' in French.

Vamika: Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma announced their baby’s name to the world as Vamika. The Bollywood actress put up an Instagram post with a doting image of the proud parents staring at their child. Requesting privacy for their baby earlier, the couple have chosen not to reveal her face as yet. Vamika, incidentally, is a name for the Indian deity Durga, and is also a play on the first names of the couple — Virat and Anushka.
