Blue Ivy Carter honorary Croatian Citizen.
Beyonce and Jay-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy has been named an honorary citizen of the Croatian town Hvar, reports that the couple named her after being inspired by a local tree.
“The story of the origin of your girl’s name, Blue Ivy, has brought huge media attention and great tourism promotion to the town of Hvar,” said Mayor Pjerino Bebic in a letter sent to the couple, according to local news portal Dalmacija News.
“I have decided to grant your daughter the status of honorary citizen of the town.”
Known as the sunniest town in Croatia, Hvar sits on the island of the same name in the Adriatic Sea.
Blue Ivy, born in January, was reportedly named after a tree wrapped in blue ivy the couple had seen on the island during their visit in September 2011, shortly after they announced Beyonce’s pregnancy.
Media in Croatia have recently broadcast a video that Beyonce, 30, shot during the visit to Hvar in which she posed next to a tree covered with ivy, saying her child could be named Blue Ivy.
The couple have been to visit to the island, which is situated off Croatia’s central Adriatic coast and boasts 320 sunny days a year.
