Kylie Jenner’s youngest son is legally Aire Webster, according to information from “People” magazine.
According to the publication, on June 22, the businesswoman filed a request for the 16-month-old baby’s name to be changed from Wolf Jacques to Aire.
The little one, the result of Kylie’s former romance with rapper Travis Scott, was born on February 2, 2022. The two are also parents of Stormi, 5 years old.
the name change
Initially, the former couple had named the second child Wolf Jacques, however, the decision did not hold.
Shortly after the birth, Kylie revealed that the change of mind. “We really didn’t feel like it was him,” she began on Instagram.
“We just wanted to share [a novidade] because I keep seeing people calling him Wolf everywhere,” continued the socialite, without going into too much detail.
The new name was only shared with more than 390 million followers in January of this year, when Kylie published a photo next to him.
Controversy
It is worth mentioning that the change also led to controversy, especially in the Arab community. According to Kylie fans, the word can have two meanings, one of which has a sexual connotation.
According to the “Urban Dictionary”, “Aire” in Arabic would be “best friend”, but it can also be used as the expression “my penis”.
On Twitter, Lebanese-born journalist Antoinette Lattouf commented on the matter. “Should someone tell Kylie Jenner that she renamed her son Aire which is a common Arabic expression for ‘my penis’ or nevermind?”
Umm should someone tell Kylie Jenner she renamed her son Aire which is a common Arabic expression for ‘my penis’ or nah?

Even in the face of the connotation, for Kylie and Travis, Aire would have a similar meaning to the original name (in Hebrew, “Lion of God”), as pointed out by a source to “People”.
When asked by fans, Jenner explained the correct way to pronounce her son’s name.
“Do you think it’s pronounced air or airey?”, asked a netizen. “AIR,” Kylie replied, alongside a red heart emoji.
