The Significance Behind the Name
The name Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt carries a significant historical and familial connection. Many have speculated that the name Fitzgerald is a nod to Katherine's great uncle, former President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. This presidential association adds a layer of depth and meaning to the name choice.
Additionally, the name Ford, which means “dweller at the ford,” and Fitzgerald, meaning “son of Gerald,” combine to create a strong and distinctive name for their son.
Before welcoming Ford, Schwarzenegger and Pratt were already parents to two daughters. Their eldest, Lyla Maria, was born in August 2020, followed by Eloise Christina in May 2022. Chris Pratt also has a son named Jack, born in August 2012, from his previous marriage to Anna Faris. The growing family is undoubtedly thrilled with the addition of their newest member, Ford.
