How did she come by her name?
It is quite common for celebrities to go above and beyond when naming their kids. Nikki Reed and Ian Sommerhalder proved to be no exception. It is obvious that the name Bodhi Soleil Reed Somerhalder was well thought out as it is unique and bears a profound meaning. One of the names has a connection to Nikki Reed’s star role on Twilight; Breaking dawn!
Bodhi
The name Bodhi is Sanskrit and relates to the Buddhist concept that symbolizes spiritual enlightenment/awakening/wisdom. The Buddhist spiritual founder received his spiritual enlightenment under the Bodhi fig tree hence the name Bodhi symbolizes ‘awakening’. The name equates to the state of Nirvana, which means to be free from ego, greed, and hate. It is safe to say Bodhi was born without these vices.
Nikki reed also shared with Fit Pregnancy magazine that she found out she was pregnant “before dawn”. It is only proper to assume that considering the name Bodhi loosely translates to ‘Awakening’, how her parents found it and the time had something to do with it. Her mother woke up to the news of her conception and called her Bodhi to mean ‘awakening’. What a sweet reminder!
Soleil
The name Soleil is of French origin and it means “Sun”. From all the adorable posts the famous couple has posted about their lovely daughter and their birth experiences, it is obvious that Bodhi Soleil Reed Somerhalder is their little ray of sunshine. Her parents made sure she would always know this and what better way than to name her literally after the Sun! She and Ian said they watched the sun come up together after she found she was pregnant.
It is also not lost on many fans that the name Bodhi Soleil together translates to “Awakening Sun” which in layman’s terms is “Before Dawn”. Nikki says that the news of her pregnancy was broken to her ‘before dawn”, so at the Break of dawn. If you are a hardcore Twilight fan I know the connection is not lost on you. One of Nikki Reeds’ highlight roles in her career was playing the character Rosalie Hale in Twilight Breaking Dawn!
