She told followers that the name Grace honors her great-grandmother and other relatives in husband Chandler Powell's family — she said the name dates back to the 1700s on Powell's side.

Irwin continued: "Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior."

Steve Irwin was known for his work in wildlife conservation and for his TV show, "The Crocodile Hunter." He was killed by a stingray in 2006 at the age of 44.

"There are no words to describe the infinite amount of love in our hearts for our sweet baby girl," Bindi Irwin wrote on Instagram. "She chose the perfect day to be born and we feel tremendously blessed."

Their daughter was born on the couple's one-year wedding anniversary. Irwin married Powell, a professional wakeboarder, in a "small ceremony" at the Australia Zoo in March 2020, due to the spread of COVID-19.

Both Irwin and Powell separately announced on Instagram in August that they were expecting. Powell wrote in his post that, "Becoming a dad is the highlight of my life."
