“I thought I’d share the story behind our beautiful daughter’s name,” Bindi shared to her Instagram. (Credit: Instagram)

In November 2023, loving mum Bindi shed new light on the heartwarming meaning behind her name. 

“Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler’s family dating back to the 1700s. Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad,” the mother of one wrote. 

“Her last name is Powell just like her incredible Dada and his family. I think about how much meaning and love was poured into naming the important part of our lives, our gorgeous Grace.”

For Halloween 2023, the Irwin-Powell clan indulged in toddler Grace Warrior’s desire for some dinosaur fun. 

“Grace wanted to be “all the dinosaurs” this year for #Halloween. Here we are…🦖 Have a ROARING good spooky day,” she shared to her Instagram account on October 31st, with a hilarious image to match. 

With mum and dad looking a tad scared in the middle, two and a half year old Grace was photoshopped in around them in a variety of super spooky (but mostly cute) dinosaur costumes. 

Simply adorable!

As she gained some new Instagram followers in January 2022, Bindi decided to reintroduce herself and her family.

“My name is Bindi Sue Irwin,” she wrote. “My parents named me after a crocodile and the family dog, Sui. I’m a Wildlife Warrior and have dedicated my life to speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves. Conservation work is my life. It’s not just what I do, it’s who I am.

“I have a beautiful 10 month old daughter, Grace Warrior and a wonderful husband, Chandler. Our family lives and works in our wildlife sanctuary, Australia Zoo and we’re proud to be doing everything we can to protect our wildlife and wild places.

She went on to say how the family is carrying on the legacy her parents started years ago by protecting acres of conservation property, creating the non-profit Wildlife Warriors, treating over 100,000 sick animals in Australia Zoo, and so on. 

“Thank you for sharing this adventure with me. I’m grateful to give you a glimpse into my family life each day,” Bindi finished the post.

“Grace Warrior Irwin Powell. Our graceful warrior is the most beautiful light. Grace is named after my great-grandmother, and relatives in Chandler’s family dating back to the 1700s. Her middle names, Warrior Irwin, are a tribute to my dad and his legacy as the most incredible Wildlife Warrior.

“Her last name is Powell and she already has such a kind soul just like her dad. There are no words to describe the infinite amount of love in our hearts for our sweet baby girl. She chose the perfect day to be born and we feel tremendously blessed.”
