And the name of Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry’s new baby girl has been decided. Their daughter has been named Nahla Ariela Aubry, her rep confirms to UsMag.
Pamela Redmond Satran, the co-author of The Baby Name Bible and Cool Names for Babies says,
Nahla is the Arabic word for ‘drink of water. Ariela is related to the Hebrew Ariel, which means ‘lion of god.’ Nahla is one of those names that is occasionally found among people of African or Arabic descent, but isn’t commonly used in any particular culture.
Nala was the name of Simba’s lioness mate in Disney’s The Lion King, so it kind of has an African flavor as opposed to a genuine African pedigree. And Ariela’s “Disney antecedent,” is Ariel in The Little Mermaid.

That was my first thought - the Disney names. But it’s cute though
Me too, I was like “Aw, Nala’s Simba’s woman in The Lion King!”
Very cute name, esp b/c the last name is like a first name too, which is cute. And the Disney throwback’s kinda cheesey, but still pretty cute :)
olha eu aqui denovo, só vim deixar um beijo para a rachel rsrs
Cute unique name….. Congrats Holly! :)
Cute unique name….. Congrats Halle! :)
I love the lion king, Nahla is a great name.
