- 8 years ago
Speaking in Mandarin, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan made a special announcement about their daughter as they wished the world a happy Lunar New Year.
In a video post Saturday, the couple said this Lunar New Year was especially meaningful because they selected Max's Chinese name.
"Chen, after her mother's family name, and Mingyu represents our hope for a brighter tomorrow for the world," Zuckerberg said.
When Zuckerberg and Chan announced Max's birth late last year, they said they would donate 99% of their Facebook shares over their lifetimes to efforts to make the world better through education, medicine and Internet access.
Their daughter's Chinese name reflects that vision, combining the word "ming," which means bright, with "yu," which means universe.
