The source told the online portal that Gigi decided to name her daughter Khai in the honor of her grandmother. For the unversed, her father Mohamed's mother's name was Khairaiah. Her sister, Bella Hadid's middle name is Khair and thus, it has become a family tradition for them in a way as to pay a tribute to their beloved grandmother. In addition to that, the source also revealed that as Gigi's grandmother belonged to a royal lineage, naming her daughter Khai seemed perfect as the meaning of husband Zayn's last name is 'King'.
