Singer Alka Vuica's Grandson Named Lav Naron, Combining Tradition and Uniqueness

The newborn son of singer Alka Vuica's son, Arian Vuica, and his wife, Dora Šitum Vuica, has been given the unique name Lav Naron. The couple, who welcomed their first child in late July, took their time to decide on a name after seeing the baby boy.

Dora Šitum Vuica shared in an interview with Story magazine that the name Lav Naron was chosen for its distinctiveness and its connection to their family heritage. The middle name, Naron, honors the ancient city of Narona, located in present-day Vid near Metković, which is the ancestral home of Arian's grandfather.

“

It was important for us that the name be different and special, yet have a traditional connection to our family.

"It was important for us that the name be different and special, yet have a traditional connection to our family," Dora explained, emphasizing the name's unbreakable link to their family roots. The first name, Lav, meaning lion, is also symbolic, drawing inspiration from the winged lion of Saint Mark, a common motif along the Dalmatian coast, reflecting a strong connection to Dalmatia.

Our Lav is a true lion from Narona.

"Our Lav is a true lion from Narona," the new mother said with a smile. The family is currently adapting to life with their new baby, with significant support from the grandmothers. Dora recounted the magical first moments after her C-section, describing an immediate and profound love upon seeing her son for the first time.

Alka Vuica has shared photos of her son and grandson, welcoming the baby into the world and their family. The article also briefly mentions a past relationship of a Croatian singer that ended in divorce, though it is not directly related to the main story about the baby's name.

My love, welcome to this world and to our family.
