Description
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, welcomed their third daughter on Saturday, naming her Aurelia Chan Zuckerberg. The couple already have two daughters, Maxima and August. Now if we tell you that girls have an interesting connection to Roman history, you will be surprised. It is not like this ? In a 2018 interview with The New Yorker, Zuckerberg revealed his fascination with ancient Roman history. The billionaire recalled that he loved ancient Rome because he studied Latin in high school and the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar. Zuckerberg's third daughter, Aurelia, refers to the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, whose reign has been symbolized as the Golden Age of the Roman Empire. He was best known for his Meditations on Stoic Philosophy. “Welcome to the world, Aurelia Chan Zuckerberg! You are a small blessing," Zuckerberg posted on Instagram. The first daughter of the Facebook founder is named Máxima, which is a twist on the Latin word Maximus. On the other hand, their second daughter is named August in reference to Augustus Caesar, according to a CNBC report. Zuckerberg's fascination with Rome can be gauged by the fact that he honeymooned with his wife Priscilla in the Italian capital in 2012. The couple were photographed preparing an intimate and romantic fish dinner consisting of oysters, fish carpaccio and Catalan shrimp salad as an appetizer. .
The couple began dating in 2003 after meeting in the bathroom line at a Harvard University frat party for Zuckerberg. They met when he was in second grade while she was in first grade.
