Camilo and Evaluna Montaner are one of the most beloved and followed couples in Latin America, and maybe even globally. They’re often in the spotlight for their sweet, seemingly perfect relationship, but they also share their journey as parents to Índigo and Amaranto, their two little ones. Recently though, a question started making the rounds on social media: are these really their daughters’ names or just “stage names”?

Like every Monday, the couple released a new episode on their successful YouTube channel. This time, they answered questions from their fans, and unsurprisingly, one of the most common and anticipated ones was whether Índigo and Amaranto are their real names or just artistic choices.

With their usual laughter and chemistry, Camilo and Evaluna confirmed that these are indeed their daughters’ actual names. They explained that they wanted names that were unique and meaningful, reflecting their connection to nature and the values they hold dear. So, while many were expecting a big reveal, the truth is that Índigo and Amaranto are as real as the love the couple shows in all their posts.

What Do ‘Índigo’ and ‘Amaranto’ Mean?

According to the Real Academia Española (RAE), Índigo refers to a dark blue color. More specifically, it’s the blue dye that comes from a shrub called indigofera. The word índigo is also connected to the New Age movement. In that context, an indigo child is believed to represent a more evolved state of humanity. This idea seems to fit well with the way Camilo and Evaluna think and live.

As for Amaranto (amaranth), it’s a grain originally from South America that was cultivated by ancient Andean civilizations thousands of years ago. It’s one of the oldest crops in American history and was a common food, also used in religious and healing rituals. Today, amaranth is still popular in many parts of Latin America for its high nutritional value.

What Motivates Celebrities to Choose Such Unusual Names?

Some people think it’s a way for celebrities to make sure their children stand out, even with their names. Others see it as a form of self-expression, picking something as unique as their own careers. In some cases, the names come from personal meanings, connections to nature, or simply a desire to break away from tradition. In the case of Camilo and Evaluna, it’s clear their choices are especially connected to nature.
