The REAL connection between Psalm West and the Kardashian kids' names

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are known to take their time when it comes to naming their children, so it was no surprise that it was a week before Psalm West was revealed to the world.

The tiny addition to the Kardashian brood has one of the more unusual names in the family but there is actually a connection between them all.

The 38-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star announced the name of her son, born via a surrogate, on Friday, a whole week after he was born.

This was the longest amount of time between birth and naming but that could be because they took the time to ensure there was a link between all their names and their parents.

A source has told People.com that Psalm was inspired by Kanye and Kim's current spiritual path.

Psalm joins Saint in having a spiritual leaning, while daughters North and Chicago represent direction.

Explaining the connections further, Kris Jenner told The View in 2013, shortly after North was born: "The way [Kim] explained it to me was that North means highest power, and she says that North is their highest point together and I thought that was really sweet."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye are 'hands on with new baby but have enlisted help'

Chicago was a nod to Kanye's hometown in Illinois and her name is a 'representation of the love' that Kanye has for the city he grew up in.

Meanwhile, the Kardashian West boys have a religious theme, which is unsurprising that Kim and Kanye have been making their spiritual side more public of recent times, especially with Kanye's Sunday Service gospel choir.

Saint was born in December 2015 and was named so because Kim declared him a "blessing" after she had a "difficult pregnancy".

Kanye has said previously that he believes getting the name right is important as they will 'live up to the name'.

This brings us to Psalm, who has the strongest nod to Kanye's spiritual and musical influence, with Psalm meaning 'song' in Hebrew.
