Kylie Jenner fans are in stitches over Arabic meaning of her son Aire’s name

Kylie Jenner’s son, Aire, may get some strange looks if he ever visits the Middle East.

Mere moments after the Kylie Cosmetics founder finally announced her 11-month-old’s name on Saturday, fans took to social media to point out that it means “penis” in Arabic.

“His name doesn’t translate well,” one TikToker wrote, while a Twitter user noted that Aire is a “common” slang word for “my penis.”

“God help her if she comes to the Middle East,” another person wrote, while one more chimed in, “all my Lebanese people [are] wheezing right now.”

Urban Dictionary notes that Ayre, another spelling of the unusual name, only translates to “penis” in certain circumstances, which left some users scratching their heads.

“Y’all I don’t get it & im middle eastern,” one person wrote on TikTok.

“what does aire mean in arabic I’m arab but never heard that word,” another asked.

Jenner, 25, revealed her second child’s name via Instagram while sharing the first photos of his face.

“I love you Aire Webster ❤️,” his grandmother Kris Jenner wrote, while aunt Khloé Kardashian called her nephew a “young king.”

The “Kardashians” star gave birth to her baby boy in February 2022 with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Travis Scott.

She originally revealed they had named him Wolf; however, the pair decided to change the moniker by the following month.

“We just haven’t fully legally changed it or anything, so I don’t want to announce a new name and change it again,” she told “Extra” in April 2022.

A few months later, the reality star hinted at her son’s updated name during an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.”

“His name is still Wolf, his passport is Wolf, but that isn’t gonna be his name,” she said in September. “We’re just waiting and simmering.”

Jenner and Scott, 31, who started dating in 2017, also share 4-year old daughter Stormi.

“We’re like best friends,” the makeup mogul told Harper’s Bazaar in February 2020 about her “great” co-parenting relationship with the “Sicko Mode” rapper.

“We stay connected and coordinated,” she added.
