From now on the baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
Prince George who is third in line to the throne after his grandfather Prince Charles and his father Prince William was born on Monday afternoon at 4.24pm weighed in at 8 pounds and 6 ounces.
In an official statement from Kensington Palace: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce they have named their son George Alexander Louis. The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge."
The announcement from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge just two days after the baby was born was quick by royal standards.
Prince Charles and Diana took a week before deciding to name Williams' name and it took the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh a month before settling on Charles' name.
There have been six previous kings called George with the last one being the Queen's father George VI who died in 1952.
George was the bookies favourite name to be chosen ahead of other names like Henry, James and Arthur.
