What was Beyoncé’s first child, born in 2012, named?

Beyoncé’s first child, born in 2012, was named Blue Ivy Carter.

Blue Ivy was born on January 7, 2012, in New York City, to Beyoncé and rapper Jay-Z. She is their eldest child; the couple later had twins, Rumi and Sir, who were born in 2017.

Blue Ivy’s name became familiar to the public through music and entertainment projects. She received a writing credit on Jay-Z’s song “Glory,” which was released shortly after her birth and included her cries at the end. She later appeared vocally on Beyoncé’s song “Blue” from the 2013 album Beyoncé.

A common mix-up is reversing the names of Beyoncé’s twins with her first child. Rumi and Sir are the twins, while Blue Ivy is the eldest. “Carter” is the family surname used in Blue Ivy’s full name.
