Annie Kilner and Kyle Walker have revealed the touching meaning behind their fourth son's name. 

The couple welcomed their newborn Rezon together earlier this month after a 'devastating' and 'difficult' time for Annie, who discovered in December that Walker had fathered a second child with Instagram influencer Lauryn Goodman

While the birth is yet to be registered, it is understood the choice was 'deliberate' as the parents wished for all of their sons to have names beginning with 'R'. 

The pair also share Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, therefore Rezon fits with the pattern. 

The name is also a controversial Biblical figure from the Old Testament as Rezon was a Syrian ruler who was an enemy of King Solomon.

The name also means 'prince' in the ancient Aramaic language while also referring to somebody who is 'lean and small'.

The birth has yet to be registered but a source told MailOnline that they are unlikely to change their minds because those within their circle have been informed.

They: 'Kyle is busy with football and hasn't had time to register the birth but both him and Annie are happy with the name Rezon. Family and friends who have seen the baby are already calling him that.

'They wanted the name of their latest son to also begin with R. We're not sure how they came across the name Rezon because I don't think either of them know the Old Testament very well.

Who was the Old Testament figure Rezon? 

Rezon was a Syrian ruler mentioned in the Old Testament's Book of Kings in the Bible.

He was also known as Ezron as well as Rezon the Syrian and was an enemy of King Solomon.

He became king in Syria's capital Damascus after the death of Hadadezer, who Rezon had previously deserted.

He is said to have led a 'band of marauders' helping him claim the crown.

Rezon is described in the text as 'an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon', harrying the neighbouring country's borders.

'It took them a few days to agree on this name. It's very ancient and different, I'll give them that. It caused quite a surprise amongst those who were told because they'd never heard it before and didn't know what it meant.'

Annie, 30, gave birth earlier this month with Manchester City and England footballer Walker, 33, by her side.

The past few months have been a rollercoaster for Annie, after she discovered in December last year – when she was pregnant - that her sportsman husband had fathered a second child with Lauryn.

Kyle has been living in a rented house away from the family home since January, but the couple - who already share sons Roman, 11,
