What is the name of Serena Williams's daughter?

The story behind the answer

Her full name is Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., and she is commonly known as Olympia. Serena and her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, welcomed her daughter on September 1, 2017, in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Williams gave birth after winning the 2017 Australian Open while pregnant, a victory that became one of the most remarkable achievements in tennis history.
