Blue Ivy Carter is quite the worldly baby. Beyonce and Jay-Z’s little girl, five months, has been named an honorary citizen of the Croatian Island of Hvar, where the pair vacationed last summer. The tribute stems from a blog post Beyonce posted in March, and from a moment on the island that may well have inspired the little girl’s unique name. “We woke up this morning, took a nice little walk, passed by this beautiful blue tree,” the then-pregnant Beyonce shared in a video released on her blog. “I think it’s Blue Ivy, which would be quite appropriate!” Tourism to Hvar has reportedly increased since the clip was posted; the island was even named as Lonely Planet’s fifth best vacation destination in 2012. Major Pjerino Bebic wrote in a letter to the family: “The story of the origin of the name of your daughter has brought enormous attention and therefore tourist promotion to the town and island of Hvar.” “Because of this, I have decided to confer on your daughter the status of honorary citizen of the town of Hvar.” Congratulations, Blue Ivy!
