The names of the children
Princess Maria Anunciata (born the 12th May 1985) has a really pretty and melodious name, but it is also difficult to spell!:)
In the history there was a queen of Naples that was called Maria Anunciata Bonaparte living from 1782 to 1839.
Anunciata (or Annunciata) is an Latin-Italian name and it means the promising.
Princess Marie-Astrid (born 26th June 1987) has a name that has its roots in Princess Margaretha's family; thus her sister Archduchess Princess Marie Astrid from Austria also has that name. Astrid is a Skandinavian name meaning the rider of God
Prince Josef-Emanuel (born 20th May 1993) also has a difficult name. Josef is Hebrew and means God gives propagation. Emanuel is also Hebrew and means God with us.
