[SIZE=7]Her Royal Highness Princess Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria, Princess of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau.
Catharina means: 'She who is pure'
Amalia means: 'She who is militant'
Beatrix means: 'She who brings happiness'
Carmen is derived from the biblical Mount Carmel
Victoria: 'She who is victorious'
The Prince of Orange and Princess Máxima obviously have chosen for a regal name and -because both Catharina and Amalia- appear in the long list of names in the looong history of the Orange-Nassau dynasty, they are clearly placing their daughter as a new link in the long chain. And they hope Princess Catharina-Amalia will become a strong link who is pure, militant, brings happiness and is victorious. A strong(-willed) Queen, like her grandmother Queen Beatrix!
On the name Victoria: the Prince expressed that he and Princess Máxima choosed for this name because of it's meaning: 'She who is victorious'.
But because the Crown Princess of Sweden is a protestant ánd because Queen Beatrix is her godmother and Queen Juliana is the godmother to King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden, it is widely expected in the Netherlands that HRH the Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden will become the godmother to the Princess.
Prince Willem-Alexander's godparents are:
HM the Queen of Danmark,
HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, Prince of Lippe-Biesterfeld (grandfather)
HSH the Fürst von Bismarck,
Lady Gosta von Amsberg baroness von dem Bussche Haddenhausen (grandmother)
