Amber Heard became a mother for the first time in April 2021 with the birth of her daughter, Oonagh Paige. When her little girl was just under two, the actress moved to Madrid, where she now lives and where she recently welcomed her twins, Agnes and Ocean, a girl and a boy born last May.

The actress revealed she was happy and living a dream come true with her new family, updating her fans with the news on social media. The unique names of her kids have special meanings behind them, and while the star keeps a low profile and prefers to live a private life, she has shared glimpses of her life with her followers.

Oonagh Paige:

Oonagh Paige is a beautifully unique double name, full of symbolism. Oonagh comes from the Gaelic word “úan”, meaning “lamb,” evoking innocence and purity, much like the lamb’s symbolism in Catholic tradition. 

It also has roots in Irish mythology, inspired by the fairy queen Úna, whose name evolved into Oonagh in English.

Paige is a popular name in England and the United States. It conveys youthfulness and a caring nature, stemming from the Greek word “paidion” for “child,” which evolved in English to literally mean “page” (a young attendant).

Agnes:

Agnes comes from the Greek word “Hagnē”, meaning “pure.” It is also linked to the Latin “agnus”, meaning “lamb,” giving it a meaning very similar to Oonagh. 

The Spanish version of the name is Inés. One of the most famous bearers of this name is Saint Agnes of Rome (291–304), a noble young woman who was martyred for her Christian faith after rejecting the advances of a powerful suitor, the son of the prefect of Rome, during the reign of Emperor Diocletian.

Agnes’ story reflects courage, conviction, and faith, making the name a symbol of purity and resilience.

Ocean:

Ocean is a modern, unisex name derived from the Greek “Okeanos”, the Titan who personified the great river encircling the Earth and the source of all rivers. 

The name evokes vastness, strength, and the boundless power of the seas. Ocean’s feast day is September 18, honoring Saint Ocean of Nicomedia, who, like Saint Agnes, was martyred during the persecution of Christians. The name symbolizes courage, moral strength, and resilience.
