Princess Eugenie announces name of baby daughter Adelaide Elizabeth Annina
The royal mother revealed her newborn’s full name, Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, in a brief public statement.
Princess Eugenie has publicly confirmed the full name of her newborn daughter, revealing that the baby will be known as Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank. The announcement, made through a brief statement, marks the latest addition to the British royal family’s growing list of names that blend tradition with personal significance.
The chosen name combines three given names—Adelaide, Elizabeth and Annina—followed by the family surname Brooksbank. While the royal household has not provided further commentary on the meaning behind each component, the structure mirrors a long‑standing pattern among senior royals of bestowing multiple middle names that honour relatives and historic figures.
Royal naming conventions often spark public interest, with each element potentially reflecting lineage, heritage or personal tribute. In recent years, other members of the family have selected names that echo ancestors or commemorate important dates, a practice that appears to continue with Princess Eugenie’s choice.
The announcement comes shortly after the birth, underscoring the royal family’s tradition of sharing key milestones with the public while maintaining a degree of privacy for the newborn. As the royal family adjusts to the newest member, the name Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank will now be used in official communications and future engagements.
