Beyonce has revealed what could be some of the inspiration behind daughter Blue Ivy Carter's unique name.
On Monday, Beyonce took to her Tumblr page to post a poem about "blue," and sources at BET believe the poem might have served as the inspiration behind her daughter's name.
"The world is blue at its edges and in its depths," reads the passage from Rebecca Solnit's "Field Guide to Getting Lost."

"The world is blue at its edges and in its depths," reads the passage from Rebecca Solnit's "Field Guide to Getting Lost."
"This blue is the light that got lost. Light at the blue end of the spectrum does not travel that whole distance from the sun to us. It disperses among the molecules of air, it scatters in the water. Water is colorless, shallow water appears to be the color of whatever lies underneath it, but deep water is full of this scattered light, the purer the water the deeper the blue."
There has been a lot of speculation as to the meaning behing Blue's name. GlobalGrind, a celebrity news website founded by Russell Simmons, who is another close friend of Beyonce and husband Jay-Z, explained that the name "Blue" is a tribute to Jay-Z, whose birth name is Shawn Carter.

Jay-Z's franchise albums have been called "Blueprint." Blue also contains four letters, and Beyonce has a "love for the number four." "We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that [number] for me," Beyonce told Billboard recently. "It's the day I was born. My mother's birthday, and a lot of my friends' birthdays are on the fourth. April 4 is my wedding date."
Beyonce says that, since becoming a mother, "the word 'love' means something completely different now." After being named People Magazine's "World's Most Beautiful Woman," the singer offered more information about her life as a new mom.
"I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth," Beyonce told the magazine. "I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth."
"I'm obsessed with Blue," she said. "And I mean that in many ways. I just stare at her all day. She is my favorite thing in the world and my number one job is to protect her," she said. "The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy," she adds. "The word 'love' means something completely different now."
