The name "Amiir" for Prince’s son was never confirmed by Prince anywhere. It was only identified by his ex-wife AFTER an article came put where Questlove of The Roots mentioned having a conversation with Prince about the meaning of his name, Ahmir, meaning Prince. No one else in the Prince sphere has supported this assertion by the ex-wife. 2600:8805:D285:9300:3068:8EB:E155:BCEE (talk) 17:47, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: I've edited the information to reflect most of it comes from his ex-wife with attempts to verify the information independently functionally failed. —Sirdog (talk) 23:02, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
