For three years now, Julian Bugier has sometimes been accompanied by Valérie Heurtel in his 1 p.m. newscast on France 2. The latter presents a column as positive as his personality! Very present on the air, she is more discreet about her private life. However, we know that she is the mother of a boy with a rather popular first name.
Valérie Heurtel (1 p.m. on France 2): Her son’s first name is among the top 50 most given in France!
The rest after the ad
In 2021, Julian Bugier landed at 1 p.m. on France 2, following the departure of Marie-Sophie Lacarrau on TF1. And upon his arrival, the journalist decided to make his mark by implementing several changes. One of them was to involve Valérie Heurtel for a new column, called An idea for France. The concept is to present positive and civic initiatives on a daily basis.
It has been three years since Valérie Heurtel became a well-known face among half-day news viewers. But there is no question, however, of her exposing herself excessively. Indeed, the journalist values her privacy and, therefore, very little information circulates about her. His official Instagram account may even remain public, but Internet users will only find images of his travels, reports or even behind the scenes on the France 2 set.
In 2021, Valérie Heurtel nevertheless indulged in posting a photo of a young teenager, who we guess is her son, on the occasion of her birthday. “Axel, 18 years old already!“, she wrote in the caption. When we search a little, we learn that the first name Axel comes from the two Hebrew words ab and shalom. Ab means “father“and shalom means”peace“. Axel would therefore have the meaning “father of peace“Other sources suggest that Axel is rather a derivative of the Latin word.”help“which means”aide“.
How popular is the first name Axel?
Whatever the case, this first name enjoyed great popularity in France in the 2000s. More than twenty years later, it is still a common first name, worn by around 63,000 people in France according to the site. The Women’s Journal. It is therefore in the top 50 national male first names! In 2022, the first name Axel occupied more precisely place 47 in the ranking of boy’s first names and place 84 in the ranking of the most given first names in France.
