In April, Dimples explained the reason behind Elio’s name and how she had arrived at the decision to name him so.
“Nung nag-iisip kami ng name for Baby E, I had prayed prayers for guidance and discernment in many of the aspects in my life. But one thing in my momma heart stuck and that was, even when we have been tested and challenged as a family, somehow everything around us still felt bright and sunny and warm,” she said in an Instagram post at the time. “I guess when we feel we lack love and security the most, it is the love of a Father who overlooks our imperfections that comes shining through. And we feel that from all the love showered on us by our family and closest of friends. I’m glad we found friends for keeps.”
“Elio” means “My God is Lord” in French and is derived from the name of the Greek God of the Sun, Helios or Aelius.
