Saudi parents name baby ‘Emarat’

A Saudi couple in Dubai called their second child Emarat to commemorate the Year of Zayed!

The strong fraternal bond between the UAE and Saudi Arabia continues to grow stronger by the day on both fronts; goverments and citizens. 

To honour the UAE and the ties between the two nations, a Saudi couple has decided to name their baby boy Emarat in celebration of the Year of Zayed.

The mother, who wished to remain anonymous and only go by the name Umm Emarat (Mother of Emarat), said she decided on her child’s name a week before the baby was due.

Emarat was born at Latifa Women and Children Hospital in Dubai on June 7, 2018, and had his birth certificate issued recently on July 8.

The Saudi couple have an older daughter Ayesha, 3, and have been living in the UAE for the last two years.

Umm Emarat explained her husband Fayez Al Enezi, a businessman, approved of the child’s name and also received the blessings from their family members based in Riyadh.

She also praised the long-standing Saudi-Emirati relations, and the common destiny that brings them together.
