Jessa Duggar Seewald and her husband Ben have finally revealed their newborn son’s name.
The couple posted a video announcing the name yesterday on their family website.
The pair have named their first child Spurgeon Elliot Seewald.
In the video, they explain the meaning behind their baby's unusual moniker.
The newborn is named after famous 19th century British preacher Charles Spurgeon.
“He had a big impact on our lives...His writings and his sermons and books are still around today, and they just continue to impact many, many people,” Ben said in the clip.
Little Spurgeon's middle name, Elliot, is a nod to missionaries Jim and Elisabeth Elliot. Jim Elliot died on the mission in South America.
The Seewalds also revealed that they had nicknamed their son Quincy since the moment they realised they were expecting.
In the video, Jessa spoke of her excitement at meeting her baby.
“We’ve been working on deciding on a name, and we finally figured it out,” she said.
"He's a precious little bundle of joy and we're so blessed to call him ours."
Spurgeon was born on November 5 after a long and "intense" home birth. While both mum and baby are now doing well, 23-year-old Jessa struggled through a tough two-day labour before being taken to hospital due to blood loss shortly after the birth.
Jessa and Ben, 20, recently spoke to People about the traumatic birth. "Labour is hard...It was very intense, very long. Everything was different than I expected," Jessa said.
