Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made it official on Thursday. Pax Thien Jolie is now Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

On Thursday, May 31, adopted 3-year-old, Vietnamese-born Pham Quang Sang's name was officially changed to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt. The official name change in Santa Monica's Superior Court is a result of the child not being able to carry both the Jolie-Pitt name because of Vietnamese adoption regulations disallowing adoption to unmarried parents, or co-adoption by unmarried parents.

Both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt visited a Vietnamese orphanage in November of last year. Then on March 15 Jolie picked the boy up from the orphanage, and completed the adoption procedures in Ho Chi Minh City the same day. At the time, she was unable to use both the Jolie-Pitt name because of the Vietnamese adoption regulation. However, Jolie started the appellate process right away once she made it back to the States.

So now, Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt officially joins his other three siblings as part of the Pitt-Jolie family, making it four children in all. Three of the children are adopted and one is the biological child of the couple.

His first name Pax, in Latin means "peace." His middle name Thien, in Vietnamese means "sky." The beautiful name you get when you put the two together means "peaceful sky."

Both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been involving themselves in noble humanitarian causes outside of the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. (See has Brad Pitt Going Green in New Orleans by T.H. Pankey, and Little Known Facts about Angelina Jolie by K.D. Griffin)

I knew that she was thinking of this. That's great for them! I appreciate the work that Angelina does and I think it shows there is much more to her than a pretty face and a great body.
