We have a name, folks!

Six days after the arrival of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall's baby girl, her moniker has finally been revealed, thanks to her proud papa.

"For everyone who has asked what our daughters name [is], it's Mia Grace Tindall," the former rugby captain tweeted on Thursday, Jan. 23.

Phillips, an Olympic equestrian and Queen Elizabeth II's granddaugher, welcomed her first child at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in England on Friday, Jan. 17. Tindall was present for the delivery.

At the time of her birth, little Mia weighed 7 pounds, 12 ounces.

The newborn royal is sixteenth in line to the British throne. Her mother, meanwhile, does not hold a royal title and is not referred to as Her Royal Highness.

Phillips, 32, and Tindall, 35, met during England's Rugby World Cup-winning campaign in Australia in 2003. The new parents tied the knot at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland, in July 2011.

Phillips' pregnancy was confirmed in July 2013, just a few weeks before Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed Prince George, who is third in line to the British throne.
