DUBAI: (Web Desk) Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and his wife Shaikha bint Saeed bin Thani Al Maktoum have welcomed their fourth child, named her Hind.

The royal couple have blessed with a daughter on March 22, 2025. Sheikh Hamdan named his newborn Hind to honor his mother, Sheikha Hind Bint Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum, wife of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The name ‘Hind’ wields immense significance in Arab and Islamic culture. It symbolizes strength, prosperity, and resilience.

Historically, ‘Hind’ was also a reference to wealth and abundance, as it was used to denote a hundred camels, an ancient sign of affluence in Arabia. Additionally, the Indian subcontinent is referred to as ‘Al-Hind’ in Arabic, further reinforcing the name’s cultural and historical significance.

In an instagram post, Sheikh Hamdan announced the birth of his daughter. He wrote, “O Allah, grant her a heart filled with Your love and a tongue that remembers You, and increase her in Your light and guidance, and clothe her in the garments of health and well-being.”

Previously, Sheikh Hamdan and Sheikha Shaikha welcomed twins in 2021 – a son, Rashid, and a daughter, Sheikha. They had their third child, a son named Mohammed in 2023.

Since 2008, Sheikh Hamdan has served as the Crown Prince of Dubai. He also holds key positions as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE. The son of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, he is widely admired for his leadership, poetry, and adventurous lifestyle.

He married Sheikha Shaikha bint Saeed bin Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum in 2019, in a grand ceremony alongside his brothers, Sheikh Maktoum and Sheikh Ahmad.
