Inspired by “the ancient Rwandan tradition of naming a baby soon after its birth," the ceremony is dedicated to naming mountain gorillas who were born in Rwanda during the previous year, according to the African Wildlife Foundation.
It is a “high honor” to name one, per the AWF, and the Elbas were given this honor.
During the Friday ceremony, the couple named their “little guy” Narame, which, according to Sabrina’s post, translates to “long life.”
“Thank you for letting us name a baby gorilla at this year's Kwita Izina naming ceremony,” the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador wrote. “His mother lost her two previous [babies], so we hope this one has a long and fruitful life ❤️.”

According to Rwandan newspaper The New Times, the ceremony, which has also become a “signature conservation event,” took place at Volcanoes National Park.
Danai Gurira, Winston Duke and Kevin Hart were also “namers” in the ceremony, per the outlet. Gurira named Aguka T'Challa, a tribute to Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther character.
Sabrina also shared a behind-the-scenes look at the star-studded ceremony including a photo of a giant gorilla sculpture and pictures and videos of the primates themselves.
She also shared several other highlights from the trip, including a video of a table set with a fruit-filled breakfast and photos of the stunning Rwandan scenery.
