What is the name of Beyoncé's first child?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé's first child is Blue Ivy Carter.

Blue Ivy was born on January 7, 2012, in New York City to Beyoncé and Jay-Z. She is the couple's eldest child and was followed by twins Rumi and Sir, born in 2017.

Blue Ivy appeared in her parents' music and public projects from a young age. She received a songwriting credit for “Brown Skin Girl,” a song from Beyoncé's 2019 album The Lion King: The Gift, and won a Grammy Award connected with the song in 2021.

The names Rumi and Sir are sometimes mistakenly assigned to Beyoncé's first child because all three children are widely discussed together. Blue Ivy is the eldest, while Rumi and Sir are the younger twins.
