Monaco's royal family recently welcomed a new addition: a baby girl! And now the proud parents, Marie and Louis Ducruet, are sharing the first photo and the name of their child. In an Instagram post shared on Friday by both Louis and Marie, the new parents revealed that they named their baby girl Victoire, the French word for "victory." According to NameBerry, Victoire is a popular baby name for girls in France, ranking 30th in 2021.

The name also made its way into pop culture, with Harry Potter characters Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour using the name for one of their daughters in the series. "Our little family has grown with the arrival of our little Victory," they captioned the photo, which shows the baby's leg with a band showing her name and birth date of April 4. The first picture of the new addition also appears to show Louis' hand holding his daughter.

That's why we chose it, and Marie supported me in this decision, even though the place is big and there's a protocol, but that's the only way for my grandfather to be with us."
