Bindi’s dad Steve tragically passed away in 2006 due to an injury caused by a stingray when he was filming a documentary in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. 

Explaining the meaning of her daughter’s name, the 25-year-old shared a snap of her and her toddler to her 5.6M Instagram followers and wrote “I thought I’d share the story behind our beautiful daughter’s name. Grace Warrior Irwin Powell. Our graceful warrior”.

“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. Her last name is Powell just like her incredible Dada and his family”.
