With an already extensive tattoo collection, Zayn Malik’s recent addition is probably the most meaningful of them all – his daughter’s name.
This comes after Gigi Hadid revealed their baby girl’s name on Instagram with a subtle change of her Instagram profile to say, “Khai’s mom”.
Now, it’s been spotted by Hadid-Malik fans that the former One Direction singer had a new inking in an Instagram live he was in last week. The new ink is Khai’s name in Arabic.

The meaning of baby Khai’s name
Not only is Khai a beautiful name, but there’s also a truly special meaning behind the moniker.
Khai means “crowned”, “the chosen one” or “strong” in some Arabic terms. The name was also chosen as it pays tribute to her late grandmother, Khairia, on her father Mohamed Hadid’s side of the family, according to .
Hadid’s father has previously claimed his late mother descended from royalty. “Her great grandfather was the Prince of Nazareth – King of Galilee in the 18th century Daher Al-Omer The Ruler,” he previously said.
Welcoming their new baby girl
Hadid and Malik announced the birth of their first-born via social media back in September.
The new mum took to Instagram to announce the news shortly sharing a sweet photo of her daughter’s hand.
“Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she’s already changed our world,” she captioned the photo. “So in love.”
While the new mum has now revealed her baby girl’s name to the world, she’s still keeping her face hidden from the public view to protect her privacy, something which she has done throughout her pregnancy.
