Angela Merkel Muhammed is Germany's newest residents.

The little girl was born last week to a migrant couple who fled Syria's bloody war and decided to name her in honor of the 63-year-old German chancellor whose policies allowed them to start a new life in 2015.

The St Franziskus Hospital in the western city of Muenster said that the little girl's first name is Angela, her middle name is Merkel, and last name
is their family name of Muhammed.

But she's not the first new Angela Merkel. 

DPA reports another baby was given the chancellor's name by a family seeking asylum in the city of Duisburg in 2015.
