Ian

On August 29, 1993, we welcomed our second son into the world and named him Ian. Why Ian? To be honest, after gazing onto his newborn face, we made a last-minute decision. We relegated the previously selected first name of “Tyler” to his middle name and went with Ian (a top choice during the selection process). We were ignorant of the meaning of the name Ian, which 23 years later we discovered means “Gift of God.” A God moment 23-years in the making.

Wikipedia: Ian, Iain (/ˈiː.ən/; Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈɪʲən]) is a name of Scottish Gaelic origin, ultimately derived from Hebrew Yohanan and corresponding to English John. Meaning gift of god, god’s gift.
