Meaning Behind Cameron Diaz’s Kid’s Names
When Cameron Diaz announced the name of her daughter Raddix Madden, the Internet was divided. Some people thought the name was absolutely weird, while many others thought it was unique, gentle, and cool. But what people were most interested in was the meaning behind this name. Some experts thought it might be a twist on the Slavic name Radek. However, an insider close to the family said that the name is derived from the word rad with the popular ‘x’ suffix, which is used in many names nowadays.
According to Merriam-Webster, the Latin word radix has two meanings, one being the basis of the number system and the other being “primary source”. Either way, it’s a very original name.
Cardinal, on the other hand, is a more common term, even though it is not commonly used as a name. One of the most popular meanings of cardinal, according to Merriam-Webster, is “a high ecclesiastical official of the Roman Catholic Church who is second in rank to the Pope and is appointed by him to assist him as a member of the College of Cardinals. The name Cardinal is named after birds found in the US and Canada and the Internet thinks he is a great name like Cardinal Radix.
