It’s not because you’re a football player known and appreciated by everyone that you’re different. Antoine Griezmann, happy father of 3 children, 2 girls and a boy, also chose names for his children that had meaning for him. And the first names of his 3 children are short, rare and sweet. But as the trend is towards unusual names, it is a safe bet that his son’s first name will meet the same fate as that of his daughters and will join the top 10 of French favorite names before long.
A name is for life
Antoine Griezmann, who we follow with pleasure in this Euro 2024, is married to Erika Choperena. Together they have 3 adorable children. And incredibly, they were all born on the same date: April 8! Like many French people, Antoine and Erika wanted a sweet and original first name for their little ones. Even if year after year, new trends emerge, short names with a soft and original sound, not the first names from the Christian calendar, are still very popular and find themselves at the top of the ranking of the names most given to babies.
The choices of public figures influence the French
Many public figures have started trends, like Amir with a first name of only 2 letters. Karine Lemarchand had also chosen a unique name for her daughter which has since become very popular among young parents. Louane, Slimane… all these stars have launched fashions with their baby’s name.
From now on, he is certainly one of the French’s favorite footballers, our national “Grizou” who will launch a nice wave with his son’s first name. The French team will play this evening at 9 p.m. against Austria, and there is no doubt that his wife and 3 children will not be too far away to support him.
A rare but very symbolic first name for Antoine Griezmann’s son
The first name of Antoine Griezmann’s latest born is currently very little attributed in France. As with its sisters, the choice fell on a name of Latin origin with a Portuguese or Spanish sound. If the little boy who is now 5 years old has a first name of Portuguese origin, it is no coincidence, it is that of his grandfather who was also a footballer in his time: Amaro Griezmann. If Amaro already plays football, we don’t yet know if he too will have the chance and the talent to play in such good teams as his dad.
Where does Antoine Griezmann’s son’s name come from?
This first name of Portuguese origin refers to the Basque origins of the little boy’s mother. Its French equivalent is Aimé. It symbolizes wisdom and experience. Amaro has only been awarded 52 times since 1971, with a record year in 2022 (13 births). Its popularity has only grown since then. If the French team has a good Euro 2024, the year 2025 should have even more small Amaros.
The Griezmann family already has a little Mia and a little Alba, two first names that were rare at the time of their birth but which have since become very trendy. The first name Amaro should naturally follow the same wave of popularity as that of its sisters.
