'Kai' Wayne Rooney – The Baby With A Meaningful Name

Well, we all know that Coleen and Wayne Rooney’s baby Kai Rooney was born early this month. Many knew that he was going to be a boy; however, no one had any idea of what his name was going to be. After his birth, Wayne and Coleen announced that they had named their child ‘Kai’, due to personal reasons.

Well, there is no doubt that the name ‘Kai’ has several meanings in different languages, but let’s take a look around at its numerous definitions:

In Maori, Kai means ‘food or eat’
In Chinese, Kai means ‘unceasing’
In Mandarin, Kai means ‘victory, triumphant’
In Scandinavian, Kai means ‘keeper of the keys’
In Burmese, Kai means ’strong, unbreakable’
In Japanese, Kai means ‘change, mediation’
In Hawaiian, Kai means ’sea’
In Finnish, Kai means ‘rejoice’
In Navarro, Kai means ‘willow tree’
In Germanic languages, Kai means ’safe harbor’
In Welsh, Kai refers to the Arthurian legend Sir Kay.
In Estonia, Kai means ‘pier’ and it is for females.
In Yoruba, Kai means ‘love’.
In ancient Farsi language, Kai means ‘great king’.

It is also said that ‘Kai’ is the name of the main star in Wayne Rooney’s favorite video game. Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why the Manchester United striker didn’t hesitate to assign such a meaningful name to his dear son.

In any case, with such a bizarre name, what will baby Kai turn out to be in the future?
