Dubai’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and his wife, Sheikha Shaikha bint Saeed bin Thani Al Maktoum, have joyfully welcomed their fourth child—a baby girl named Hind.
The royal couple’s daughter was born on March 22, 2025. In a heartfelt tribute, Sheikh Hamdan chose the name Hind to honor his mother, Sheikha Hind Bint Maktoum Bin Juma Al Maktoum, wife of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai.
The name Hind carries deep cultural and historical meaning in Arab and Islamic traditions. It symbolizes strength, prosperity, and resilience, historically linked to wealth and abundance. In ancient Arabia, Hind referred to a hundred camels, a measure of affluence. Additionally, the name resonates beyond the region, as the Indian subcontinent is referred to as Al-Hind in Arabic, adding further cultural depth.

Announcing the birth of his daughter on Instagram, Sheikh Hamdan shared a heartfelt prayer:
“O Allah, grant her a heart filled with Your love and a tongue that remembers You, and increase her in Your light and guidance, and clothe her in the garments of health and well-being.”
Sheikh Hamdan and Sheikha Shaikha previously welcomed twins in 2021 – a son, Rashid, and a daughter, Sheikha. In 2023, they had their third child, a son named Mohammed. With the arrival of baby Hind, their family now has four children.
