What is the first name of Beyoncé’s eldest child, Blue Ivy Carter?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s eldest child is Blue Ivy Carter, commonly known as Blue Ivy.

Blue Ivy was born on January 7, 2012, in New York City to Beyoncé and rapper Jay-Z. She is the couple’s first child and has two younger siblings, twins Rumi and Sir, who were born in 2017.

Blue Ivy has appeared in her parents’ music and visual projects. She provided vocals on Jay-Z’s song “Glory,” which was released shortly after her birth, and later appeared in Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl” video and the film Black Is King.

The names of the three children are sometimes mixed up because all became familiar through high-profile music projects. Blue Ivy is the eldest; Rumi and Sir are the younger twins. “Ivy Carter” is not the complete commonly used name, because Carter is the family surname.
