A year after Rihanna became a mom for the first time, we finally know one of the biggest details about her baby boy. Finally, Rihanna's son's name has been revealed, and it holds a lot of meaning, considering it pays tribute to one of the most iconic hip hop artists of all time.

The information comes from Rihanna's son's birth certificate.
The paperwork was obtained by the Daily Mail, confirming that Rihanna and A$AP Rocky became parents on May 13, 2022, along with his unique name: RZA Athelston Mayers. Since Rocky's real name is Rakim Mayers, we now know that their son was given his last name.
His first name comes from a music legend.
It appears Rihanna’s baby’s first name honors another RZA — the name of the leader of Wu-Tang.
His middle name, Athelston, is similar to his dad's middle name, Athelaston, so it appears Rihanna and A$AP Rocky put a lot of thought into what they'd call their little boy!
Rihanna may have been dropping hints about her name choice.
In October, Rihanna was seen wearing a shirt featuring RZA — months after she'd given birth but long before news of her baby boy's name had broken. We never would have guessed that she was wearing her little one's name on her shirt, so it's funny to look back at this moment.

It's only been recently that Rihanna has started sharing photos of RZA publicly.
For most of the first year of her baby's life, she kept him totally private but then slowly began sharing photos and videos of him (and his stylish outfits, such as the Fendi jacket he's wearing in this snap).
And then, of course, there's also the fact that he's already starred in a Vogue shoot before his first birthday …
Soon, RZA will become a big brother.
We have to wonder if his baby brother or sister will have a musically inspired name as well or if Rihanna and Rocky will decide to go a different direction this time around.
Either way, we can't wait to see more of little RZA!
