Jordan Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and his wife Princess Rajwa welcomed their first child - a baby girl on Saturday August 3. The royal couple of the Hashemite dynasty have named their daughter Iman bint al-Hussein but not many know the moniker has a special connection to their family. The Royal Hashemite Court confirmed the birth of their daughter on social media alongside a special video.
The Crown Prince was seen lovingly holding his daughter as the little munchkin seems fast asleep. A post shared by Royal Hashemite Court (@rhcjo) In the Arabic culture, Iman is said to be derived from the root word ‘amana’ which means to have faith, to feel secure and safe, and to be free from fear. But that isn’t all when it comes to Iman bint al-Hussein’s name.
