CLICK HERE to find out!

His name is….

Levi Alves McConaughey.

Mateo explains's the name's significance, saying, "Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in The Bible. They were, in fact, two names for the same person. Our son was born at 6:22 pm, and this particular time represents my favorite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible: 'If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light.'"

Baby Levi's middle name is taken directly from his mother Camila's last name. "We wanted to incorporate her family name," explains the proud new father.

To all the well-wishers and fans, Matthew and Camila have also released the following statement:

"We welcome Levi Alves McConaughey into this wonderful life and look forward to living in it with him. In the mean time and all times, just keep livin'."

—Matthew David McConaughey and Camila Maria Saraiva de Araujo Alves

    how do u pronounce Levi?

  51. Raniz says – reply to this


    51

    Beautiful name!!!
    They kept a brazilian tradition of giving the baby the mother's and father's last name.
    Boa Sorte Levi!

  52. K says – reply to this


    52

    Great name!!!

    Biblical names are always classic and I like that they honored a family name for the middle name. This is the way we named our children too.
    Best of luck to little Levi and to mom and dad!

  53. obser says – reply to this


    53

    A celeb who isn't afraid to express his faith is a very welcome, refreshing change. I just gained a new respect for Matthew. Good for him and congratulations to him.

  54. Lisa says – reply to this


    54

    Call me old fashion but, what happened to Robert, Cindy, John etc. Levi, sounds like Levis which I would not have past by him that he would name the baby that. My godness mom has a lot of names! I am hispanic yet do not have as many names.

  55. stoju says – reply to this


    55

    why not just call the kid "bob"? cmon, its not rocket science.

  56. val says – reply to this


    56

    why do you keep using that picture. That doesn't even LOOK like Matthew……

  57. Carri says – reply to this


    57

    At least it's a somewhat NORMAL name.

  58. Lisa says – reply to this


    58

    Re: obser – I really do not see Mathew being religious it sounds like all mom to me, she is from Brasil and they are extremely Catholic, Matt just worships the sun and Corona baby!!!

  59. jenni says – reply to this


    59

    i like it!

  60. KAT says – reply to this


    60

    Wow. Pretty deep.

  61. Amela says – reply to this


    61

    I don't get it. Does that mean that if his kid is a cyclops his body will be full of light? Is he a flashlight?

  62. K says – reply to this


    62

    Re: WWWW

    It can be pronounced 2 ways either phonetically "Lee'vie" like the brand named jeans (more common pronunciation) or "le'vee" (like the levees that break during a water emergency) which is the actual biblical pronunciation.

  63. jac a says – reply to this


    63

    Finally someone gets it right! I love the name and it's significance. What a beautiful statement too from the parents.

  64. Bee says – reply to this


    64

    I love this name! Its better than naming your child Sunday or Honor LOL

  65. anon says – reply to this


    65

    I think Sara Gilbert's son is named Levi as well. I am surprised they went with a such a biblical name; they didn't seem the type. Hebrew names are becoming such a huge Hollywood trend.

  66. JM. says – reply to this


    66

    Congrats Matthew



  67. 67

    aaaw

  72. 72

    aw, that's sweet. and what a cute/normal name! i was afraid he was going to name it after his favorite brand of beer like his brother.

  73. I HAT says – reply to this


    73

  74. Peppe says – reply to this

  76. 76

    Cute name, but the reasoning behind is is quite pretentious.



  77. 77

  78. gabby says – reply to this


    78

    CUUTTEE!!

  79. Mattr says – reply to this


    79

    I think he wanted to name him something else like Levis or Jose Cuervo or something that is why it took so long to release the name, she probably made him change his mind, cause he mentions a passage that is where he chose the name since the baby was born at that time.

  80. z says – reply to this


    80

    It's a Jewish name i don't like it poor kid.

  81. Beth says – reply to this


    81

    Good name! Not boring, but not insane, either. I like how he chose it - now his son is named after him, but less obvious.



  82. 82

    awww, that nice.

    So, is 'Levi' pronounced like the jeans or as in drove my chevy to?

    I'm from Scotland, y'all pronounce thing differently :)

  83. %#@! says – reply to this


    83

    he named kid after jeans and beer how fitting

  84. Lucy says – reply to this


    84

    Fire one up Matt!
    Personally I was hoping for Southern Comfort McConaughey or Moose Knuckle McConaughey.

  85. Tan says – reply to this

    the scripture means that you should keep your life simple, and not focused on making money and etc. but to keep God first and you will shine like a bright light and be happy….
    i like this scripture :)

  86. Blunt says – reply to this


    86

    Oh great, he named his son after one of Lance Armstrong's biggest rivals, Levi Leipheimer. I'm sure his buddy, Lance, is going to be thrilled about that.

    Re: Lisa
    first of all, Brazil is not longer a majority catholic country, since the last 30 years! And most of the reamining catholics in Brazil are not practicing! Like…at all! We attend church for like, weddings! And we just go because theres all the booze at the reception afterwards! neways…
    That doesn´t sound like coming from her either, portuguese biblical names are pronounced differently too, oh well…whatever

  97. dinod says – reply to this


    97

    WTF…..IS HE REALLY THIS MUCH OF A JESUS LOVER, WOW , LIKE ANYBODY IS GOING TO BELIEVE THIS SHIT. FAME HAS MADE MATT A REALLY UNLIKEABLE DUDE, WOW HE READS THE BIBLE, WHAT A DUMB ASS…



  98. 98

    i like that he actually had a good reason, when I first saw it I thought he named his baby after jeans. After all his brother did name his son Miller Lyte, I was worried bad names would run in the family!

  99. raaay says – reply to this


    99
