The Story of Infant
Before your child is even born, this word, the oldest sound you'll speak to them, is waiting to be their name.
Infant is a word name derived directly from the Latin 'infans,' meaning 'baby' or 'young child,' literally translating to 'one who does not speak.' This ancient term for the youngest among us has transitioned from a descriptor to a profound and intimate given name, carrying the essence of new beginnings and pure innocence.
To call your child 'Infant' is to embrace the profound truth of this moment, the pure, unadulterated newness they represent. It's a name whispered in the quiet of the nursery, a sound so primal it feels like the first word you ever spoke. You feel the absolute smallness and wonder of them when you say it, a love that is wordless.
