Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s daughter’s name has been revealed.
According to TMZ, the full name of the couple’s first child is Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. The outlet obtained the child’s birth certificate, which shows she was born shortly after 8 p.m. on Jan. 15 at a San Diego hospital.
It is unclear what inspired the choice of name, but ‘Malti’ is Sanskrit of Indian origin and generally means moonlight or small fragment flower.

“We are delighted to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy at this special time as we focus on our family,” her statement said.
The Jonas Brothers singer, 29, and the 39-year-old actress were married in two ceremonies in India in 2018. One ceremony was Hindu, the other Christian.
In November, the couple faced rumors of marital troubles, but Chopra was quick to shut them down. First, she dropped a thirsty comment below one of her husband’s Instagram workout posts, before focusing on dispelling notions that she and the boybander are wading through treacherous waters in marriage.
The Quantico actress then took to social media again, this time to share a video clip of herself gracing the stage during Netflix’s Jonas Brothers Family Roast.

“I’m honored and so excited and tickled to be here tonight to roast my husband Nick Jonas and his brothers whose names I can never remember,” Chopra said in a video clip she captured during the roast showed himself on stage.
“Got my husband and his brothers a nice roast for dinner,” Chopra captioned the video post, joking that the Jonas Brothers “clearly” never made it big in their native India.

Earlier this month, Chopra hinted to Vanity Fair that she and Jonas were ready to become parents again.
“That’s a big part of what we want for the future,” she said. “By God’s grace, if it happens, it happens.”
