Mariyam Nafees revealed the heartwarming story behind her son’s name in a recent Instagram AMA session. Popular actress Mariyam Nafees opened up about the beautiful and spiritual meaning behind her newborn, Eesa.
The doting mom, who welcomed her first child with husband Amaan Ahmed earlier this month, shared three heartfelt reasons for choosing the name. “1) The religious girl in me always wanted to name her son Eesa because… Mariyam,”
She explained that she was drawing a connection between her name and the revered bond between Hazrat Mariyam (A.S.) and Prophet Eesa (A.S.) in Islam. “2) I’ve been very fascinated with the mother-son duo’s part in our religion,” she added, emphasizing her deep admiration for their sacred story. “3) I love the name.”
“Our world just got a lot more handsome!” they wrote. “World, meet Syed Eesa Amaan Ahmed. Welcome to the world, baby boy. May you live your dreams, Ameen.” The post also gave fans their first glimpse of the celebrity baby.
