“I love the name North. I’m pro North, absolutely,” Jenner said on
Meanwhile, Chicago has directional inspiration after her father’s hometown in Illinois. Their youngest daughter’s name is a representation of the love West has for his early years and the place that raised him.
Fans of ‘Ye are well-versed in his musical odes to Chicago, including the 2007 single “Homecoming,” which is a love letter to his hometown and contains the lyric: “And you say Chi city!”
After Chicago’s birth in January 2018, Kardashian West shared her daughter’s nickname of Chi (pronounced “shy”) on Twitter.

As for their boys, Saint and Psalm, the religious undertone of their names speak volumes to the influences that Kim and Kanye have been moved by.
After their second oldest child was born in December 2015, the couple announced the name Saint on Twitter, alluding him being a “blessing,” especially considering “she had such a difficult pregnancy.”
“It needed to mean something and he agonized over it, probably even more than Kim,” a pal of the pair told PEOPLE at the time. “Kanye believes that a name is extremely important and that it’s the first sense of identity that we have.”
“He believes that people live up to their names, which is why he wanted a name with spiritual significance,” the source continued, adding that West took the lead on naming North as well.
As for Psalm, an insider told PEOPLE on Friday that the newborn’s name “is a good reflection of where Kanye and Kim are spiritually,” adding that “Kanye has been going through a spiritual revival lately.”
Psalm, which means “song” in Hebrew, was inspired by the musician’s readings as well. “He reads the Psalms a lot. He talks about the Psalms he loves,” the source said.
The name Psalm also comes amid the musician’s weekly Sunday Service gatherings which he started at the beginning of the year and as Kardashian West has previously said, the Sunday Services have become a “healing experience” for ‘Ye.
