The Name Reveal: Miyou
Nearly a month after announcing their baby girl’s birth, the couple revealed her name through a heartfelt social media post on May 17, 2026. The announcement featured a soft pastel visual of the couple holding their newborn’s tiny hand, with the caption: “Our art of love now has a name — MIYOU — beauty, gentleness & love. With luv, MEER, PRIYA & ATLEE.”
The message is simple, personal, and perfectly them.
What Does Miyou Mean?
While the name does not have roots in traditional Indian or Sanskrit origins, it is believed to carry Japanese influences. “Mi” can translate to “beautiful,” while “You” may signify “gentle,” “excellent,” or “superior.”
In short, the name Miyou means beautiful and gentle — and fans couldn’t agree more that it suits her perfectly.

Atlee’s Next Big Project: Raaka
While the family basks in the joy of their newest arrival, the director is not slowing down professionally. Atlee is currently working on Raaka, a multilingual film featuring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. The makers unveiled Allu Arjun’s first look on his 44th birthday — bald, with furry paws covering his face, hinting at a mysterious part-human, part-creature character. The film is produced by Sun Pictures and its release date is yet to be officially announced.
Atlee, of course, made his Bollywood debut with the blockbuster Jawan starring Shah Rukh Khan, which became one of the biggest Hindi films ever made. Raaka is expected to be even bigger in scale.
