Tamera Mowry Reveals the Meaning Behind Baby Ariah's Name

What's in a name you ask? For Tamera Mowry, it's a whole lot of special meaning.

Just a few days after giving birth to her second child with husband Adam Housley, the proud mom is opening up about her daughter Ariah Talea Housley and how the couple came across such a unique name.

"It's been even more amazing to say her name while looking at her face and feel my heart almost explode with emotions," The Real co-host wrote on her personal website. "Uttering her name will likely mean many things to me over the years, but it's the story of how we chose Ariah and what it stands for that will always remain consistent."

As it turns out, the name came about long before the couple was even married. The two stumbled across a shop named Araya which immediately grabbed Mowry's attention. "It was and is such a beautiful name," she shared. The only catch was the Sister, Sister star wanted to spell her daughter's name phonetically.
