A Texas mother, Alicia Alvarez, gave birth to a baby girl named Sol during a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Alvarez, who had previously named her first child Luna, wanted a celestial name for her second child to complement the name Luna, which means “moon” in Spanish. The birth, occurring unexpectedly early, coincided with the eclipse, fulfilling her doctor’s playful prediction. Sol Celeste Alvarez was born naturally at Methodist Mansfield Medical Center, weighing 6 pounds, 7 ounces, and measuring 20 inches long. Alvarez plans to share the unique birth story with Sol when she grows older, believing in the meaningful coincidence of her daughter’s name and birth event.
