Meaning behind Michelle and Mark’s adorable baby name
The name Palma has a special meaning for Mark and Michelle.
Back in November last year, they went to Majorca on holiday. The couple consider the island to be their “second home” from the UK.
It was here that the couple took the photo they later used to announce Michelle’s pregnancy.
Palma is, of course, the capital city of Majorca – so it’s only fitting they announced their pregnancy joy on the island.
“Majorca is like a second home to them so it felt special for them to take that photograph there,” a source told The Sun last year.
There’s also a Spanish link for Michelle through her paternal grandmother, who hailed from Gibraltar, meaning baby Palma has some Spanish heritage.
According to The Bump: “Palma is a feminine name with Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Latin roots. Translating to ‘palm’, this name can refer to either the palm tree or the palm of your little one’s hands.
“Palma can also act as a shortened version of Pamela, meaning ‘honey’ or ‘sweetness’.
