My child’s name means ‘miracle’ in another language, but I won’t say which one
IT is highly unlikely that a little boy will grow up with the same name as a classmate, after his parents gave him an unconventional nickname.
Many people don’t know how to pronounce his full name and don’t know what country he’s from.

A social media post announcing the baby boy’s birth was shared on Reddit’s Tragedeigh forum.
“Oh my god a girl I know named her kid just that,” the Redditor said, writing under the username Woodburned penis.
“How do you actually pronounce that name?”
GUESS WHO
The Facebook post included five photos of the newborn with his face covered and the meaning of his name.
“On August 13th at 4:12pm we welcomed our final and definitive miracle and yes I mean it [laughing]”, the message said.
“Heryx Zazrak Riyon [surname].
“Zazrak means miracle in another language and Riyon means the beauty of heaven in another language.”
The mother did not say which country or culture the names are based on, stressing their sentimental value.
“His name means a lot and fits everything we had to go through to have him here with us,” she said.
“He is a miracle from God and I cannot be more grateful for this gift, especially that I can hold him in my arms.
“He truly touched all of our hearts.”
NO FAIRY TALE
The Redditor assured the forum that the post was not fake.
“I promise this is not a joke haha. I saw this on my Facebook feed today from a girl with 6 kids,” she said.
“Named Karsan, Baylan, Hayslee, Ezalynn and Wren.
“She lives in the city next to my parents, I don’t know. [I don’t know] how I know her or why we are actually friends on Facebook.
“I wish I could make this up.”
What does Zazrak mean?
The name Zazrak is listed as a Czech word meaning Wonder on the Hungarian website Dictzone.
According to Mother crossMiracle is a unisex name of Latin origin meaning ‘to amaze or help others’.
LANGUAGE BARRIER
In the comments on the post, people tried to guess where the names might come from and gave their opinions.
“‘Another language’ DOES SHE EVEN KNOW? Because if she did she would say which language and another language is too vague,” someone said.
“Google Translate laughed at me when I tried to translate those words,” another noted.
“This reminds me of people who get tattoos in languages they don’t speak and explain what their pussy tattoos mean… but on an innocent little child,” wrote a third.
“Apparently Riyon is Hindi and Zazrak is Czech, but I couldn’t find Heryx,” said a fourth.
“So I assume these people just googled other languages and looked up the first names they came across.”
