Baby Ariah Talea Housley is here and Tamera Mowry couldn't be more overjoyed to share everything about her daughter with the world. MStars News has learned that The Real host is revealing just what her daughter's Hebrew name means.

In a new post to her personal website, Tamera finally told her fans what the other two pending names were, while explaining how to pronounce her 9-day-old baby girl's name.

"We entertained other names like Arriana and Aliana after I became pregnant, but I always came back to loving Ariah and ultimately committed to the perfect name for our baby girl," she said.

MStars News previously reported that the actress and talk show host revealed that she had three baby names that started with the letter "A" picked out for her daughter.

Tamera continued, "It was and is such a beautiful name. The only catch was that I wanted to spell her name phonetically, so people wouldn't mess it up and call her a-RAY-ya."

According to People, Ariah's name is pronounced like Mariah without the M. How cute!

The second time mother revealed that it wasn't as easy coming up with her daughter's name as it was for her son's name, which is Aden John Tanner Housley.

"Naming Ariah was a bit different than when we named Aden," she said. "I had always known that I wanted Aden to be my son's name, and since Adam began with an A as well I wanted to keep our family tradition alive of starting my childrens' names with the same letter. So it worked out that before Adam and I were even married we stumbled across a shop named Araya. I stopped and immediately told him I loved the name and wanted that to be my future daughter's name."

When it comes to baby Ariah's middle name, Talea, Tamera said that was a piece of cake because it's one she always loved.

"Her middle name, Talea, is a name I've adored for some time that ironically was going to be used in a friend's future book as a character inspired by me," she said.

When finally naming their daughter, the parents found out the origin of Ariah Talea's name, which is Hebrew. "Both Hebrew names, Ariah means Lion of God and Talea means one who resembles the morning dew of Heaven. We couldn't have found names with a better meaning if we had tried."

All in all, Tamera is happy to say she chose the right name for her daughter. "Holding her in my arms every day I know we chose right."

Besides explaining her daughter's name, Tamera has been very busy with organizing her daughter's adorable outfits! In the snapshots below, mama Tamera shows off some of her baby girl's wardrobe while thanking aunt Tia Mowry Hardrict for the beautiful dress she got her little niece.
