They’re not saying, although speculation, according to the New York Daily News, has linked the name to Jay-Z’s Blueprint series and the number four in its Roman Numeral form, IV. And just this month, the first-time mama Beyoncé posted a book excerpt, from Rebecca Solnit’s 2005 novel A Field Guide to Getting Lost, to her Tumblr blog that may give further insight into the name. “The world is blue at its edges and in its depths.

It disperses among the molecules of the air, it scatters in the water. … Deep water is full of this scattered light, the purer the water, the deeper the blue.”
