Baby McConaughey's got a name!

The often shirtless wonder and girlfriend Camila Alves have named their li'l boy Levi Alves McConaughey, the actor's rep confirms to E! News.

So how'd they come up with it?

"Levi was another name for the apostle Matthew in the Bible," McConaughey tells OK! magazine.

Levi was born at 6:22 p.m., which also happens to represent McConaughey's favorite verse in the book of Matthew: "If they eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light."

In a joint statement, the couple added: "We welcome Levi Alves McConaughey into this wonderful life and look forward to living in it with him. In the meantime and all times, just keep livin'."
