Their son's name is Aleph, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
So what's in a name? Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, much like alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. Aleph is the number 1 in Hebrew and can also be spelled "alef."

Portman, 30, met choreographer Millepied on the set of Black Swan, for which she later won an Oscar for Best Actress.
