What is the name of Beyoncé’s second child with Jay-Z?

The story behind the answer

Beyoncé’s second child with Jay-Z is Rumi Carter.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcomed twins on June 13, 2017. The twins are named Rumi and Sir, and their older sister is Blue Ivy Carter, who was born in 2012. Rumi is the daughter and Sir is the son.

The names were publicly confirmed in a July 2017 Instagram post by Beyoncé. Rumi’s name is often associated with the Persian poet Rumi, although the family has not provided a detailed public explanation of every naming choice.

This fact is commonly mixed up because the twins were born together and their names are frequently mentioned as a pair. Rumi also appeared in the 2019 Netflix concert film Homecoming through archival family footage, while Beyoncé’s family has generally maintained a controlled level of privacy around the children.
