Savvy mum-of-7 Paris Fury packs £5 Primark PJs for a Christmas shoot with her kids

The childhood sweethearts are currently the proud parents of Venezuela, 13, Prince John James, 11, Prince Tyson II, seven, Valencia Amber, five, Prince Adonis Amaziah, four, Athena, two, and Rico, 11 months.

And their unique names have certainly attracted a lot of attention, with many wondering how they came up with them.

So what are the hidden meanings behind the names of Paris and Tyson’s children – and which ones have they set aside when making their decisions?

Starting with the obvious: Heavyweight champion boxer Tyson has previously opened up about why he and Paris chose to name all three of their sons Prince as their first name.

Tyson, better known as The Gypsy King, opened up about his thought process during part of his 2020 documentary.

He explained to the cameras: “I am a king and they are princes until they earn their rightful name.”

It wasn’t as simple as that, however, as Tyson also previously revealed that he wanted to name his first-born son a very typical name – but Paris vetoed it.

He admitted: “I wanted to name the boy Patrick, but the woman didn’t want to.”

But they both liked the idea of ​​the Prince tradition and chose that as the boys’ primary nickname before giving them their own unique middle names.

The eldest of the three – Prince John James – also had another hidden meaning.

According to Babynames, John is of Hebrew descent and means “God is gracious.”

While Prince Tyson II, clearly named after his famous father, inherited the meaning of his name: ’ember’ or ‘firebrand’.

While their third son, Prince Adonis Amaziah, has ties to both Greek mythology and Biblical history.

Adonis is thought to mean ‘Lord’ while Amaziah represents strong or strong.

Meanwhile, the girls have names as distinctive as their brothers.

Tyson chose Venezuela – inspired by the country at the northern end of South America – and said it was a light bulb moment that happened to him as he lay in bed one night.

In an interview with The Guardian, Tyson explained: “One night, while I was sleeping, I thought about Venezuela. My wife’s name is Paris. I’m Tyson.

“If the girl had a normal name, it wouldn’t fit, right?”

So when they welcomed their next daughter, Tyson and Paris decided to continue with the world location theme.

They named their second girl Valencia Amber, probably inspired by the city on the Mediterranean Sea.

According to the baby name professionals at Nameberry, Valencia translates to “brave and strong.” while it may be known to mean ‘fierce’.

Then, two years ago, came their current youngest – Athena – who has ties to the Greek city of Athens.

Name experts have shared: “The name Athena is primarily a feminine name of Greek origin and means Goddess of Wisdom and War.

“The city of Athens, Greece, is named after the goddess Athena.”

When it comes to their seventh child, Prince Rico Paris Fury, the toddler’s middle name is a tribute to Rico Burton, the late cousin of heavyweight champion boxer Tyson, who was killed in 2022.

Paris said: “All my children have unusual names and it is obviously very personal for Tyson too.

“We also added my name because I’ve had seven kids and still none of them have been named after me, so Tyson thought, ‘Come on, it’s about time!'”

Their family tradition of naming their sons Prince as a first name was Tyson’s idea.
