How Ivanka Trump's Son Joseph Got His Name

In a Tumblr post, Ivanka revealed that Joseph was named after her and Jared's grandfathers (via People). Ivanka described Jared's grandfather, Joseph Kushner, as a rock and expressed their desire to instill Joseph's "indomitable spirit, sense of family, and work ethic" in their son. Similarly, Ivanka's grandfather, Frederick Trump, was remembered for his legacy of building homes and fostering a tight-knit family. Ivanka added that she aspired to instill Frederick's generational values in Arabella and Joseph.

Interestingly, the name "Joseph" in Hebrew means "Jehovah shall add," and "Frederick," which is of German descent, translates to "peaceful ruler," making their son's name even more meaningful. Ivanka and Jared added another child to the group two years after Joseph's birth. The couple welcomed a son, Theodore James, on March 27, 2016. And although Ivanka was born and raised Presbyterian, she's embraced life as a Jewish woman, committing to raising her children according to traditional religious values.
