Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh,

Dain, written as داعٍ in Arabic, would mean “a preacher”. The word is made up of Daa’ (“preacher”) and in (“a”). This is an acceptable name, though the format is rare.

Mumtaz is acceptable for a girl. The combinations are acceptable as well.

[QuranicNames.com StaffKeymaster]

There are no criteria to decide which name is best. You can choose any name that has a good meaning.

[QuranicNames.com StaffKeymaster]

Alaikumassalam,

Both names are good. You can choose either one you like. We cannot say which one is better, since there are no criteria for comparing names. If they both have good meanings, then they are both good.

[May]

Asalamualikum! I want to find out the meaning of name May for my baby girl, everything I find is that this is old Arabic name, but I would like to know is it proper name for muslim.

Thank You

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

Unfortunately we have no information on Rawaiz and Aaraiz and we cannot say anything about them.

[QuranicNames.com StaffKeymaster]

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

We have not seen any Arabic names that sound like May.

May, when used in English, is a pet form of Margaret and Mary. It is also the name of a month, and another name for the flower hawthorn which blossoms in the month of May.

The English name May is acceptable for Muslim children since it has a good meaning.

[QuranicNames.com StaffKeymaster]

You are free to continue with either name. They are both good names and parents are free to change their child’s name, or go back to using a previous name.

Ainul means “eye of” and Marzia means “someone that others are pleased with”, “someone that God is pleased with”. Ainul Marzia means “eye of the girl/woman that God is pleased with”.

There is no mention of the names of houris in the Quran or the authentic ahadith, therefore we have no way of knowing if whether Ainul Marzia is the name of a houri or not.

We kept our daughters name Hanaya Nafisa Ahmed. Me and my husband came up with the name Hanaya we searched it and found the meaning was heart and compassionate. I just wanted to know if the name was ok if it dose not have a mean as well. Please let me know. Thank you.

Can a boy named Hanaan? In many Arab countries it is used as a girl name (in Saudi, Kuwait,Yemen, Egypt etc). Is it common to name a girl with this name in any Arab country?

[Najeeb]

The best way of naming children is to give a single name with good meaning and then suffix it with the father’s name (instead of a second name).

Salam, Is ‘Ashaz’ a sahabi’s name? i do not find any authenticity of this name in any book. I have seen it in a few website where it means ‘One in a million, and name of a sahabi during the time of prophet. There is a hadith praising his virtue of patience and obedience to parents, but I could not find any reference in a hadis or any islamic book.

Connecting to this name, is Ashja which means ‘Brave and courageous’ and Ashwas is also connected to it which means ‘bold and daring’….

If someone knows about ‘Ashaz’ as a sahabi please give me the reference / of the book.

[jumana]

salam,I would like to keep my son’s name as Ahnaf Jadid.

[Ussama Assad]

Can i name my Boy as “Mohammad Hadi”.?

is it ok?

[Ussama Assad]

Also can Hadi alone be called as name??

[Ussama Assad]

“Hadi Ussama” as a name is this okay?

Hanaya, pronounced [(HU)mble] + [(NA)p] + [(YA)rn] with emphasis on the second syllable, is an Arabic name for girls. It is a plural of Hanee’ah and means “happy”, “fulfilled”. It is a good name for girls and is an indirect Quranic name since its root (H-N-HAMZ) is used in the Quran.

[QuranicNames.com StaffKeymaster]

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

Hanaan is a common girl name among Arabs of the Middle East and Africa, and among Southeast Asians. As a boy name it is less common and is used by some Arabs and more commonly by Indians. It is acceptable for boys and girls both.

[QuranicNames.com StaffKeymaster]

Alaikumasslam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Ranya can be derived from two Arab roots. The first one is A-R-N (a non-Quranic root), in which case the name means “one who have a loving gaze”, “one who gazes at something”. The second root is R-Y-N, which is a Quranic root, and in this case the name means “winner”, “victor”, “triumphant”, literally “one who overcomes”.

Both derivations of the name (both of which have the same Arabic spelling and pronunciation) are acceptable names for girls since they both have good meanings.

We haven’t seen the meaning of “happy” in regards to this name. The only meaning similar to this is “one who is feeling an extreme emotion or feeling, whether happiness, sadness, heat or cold” as mentioned in the Lisan al-Arab encyclopedia regarding the R-Y-N root.

[QuranicNames.com StaffKeymaster]

Alaikumassalam,

We haven’t seen an Arabic name that sounds like Ashaz. If you can provide the Arabic spelling we can look further into it.

Ashja and Ashwas are unrelated since they come from different roots (though their meaning is similar). Sine Ashaz contains a z sound, which can only be inherited through a root, and since Ashja and Ashwas do not contain the z sound, we can conclude that the names come from different roots and are not related, because any name derived from a root that has a z sound should also contain the z sound.

[QuranicNames.com StaffKeymaster]

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

The name is a good name and doesn’t need another name. The two names have independent meanings and together they do not create a new meaning. For the meanings to be related, it would have to be Ahnaf al-Jadid or Al-Ahnaf al-Jadid, which means “new Ahnaf or “the new Ahnaf“, but there is no reason to do this and it is probably better to keep the simpler form of Ahnaf Jadid.

[QuranicNames.com StaffKeymaster]

Muhammad Hadi Ussama is acceptable. Hadi alone can be used as a name, similar to Ali, both of which are names of God. Hadi Ussama is also acceptable.

[jahan]

Assalamualikum,

We are expecting and right now thinking about names. Our choice if its a boy then “ZAYAN/ ADYAN” if girl then “Sarina or Ayana”

Please help us with the exact meaning of these names.

[Rabia]

Assalamu alaikum,
i just want to confirm the meaning of zainab زينب‎ meaning
It is derived from the Arabic root words “zeenah” (meaning precious jewel, what glorifies someone, source of beauty) and “ab” (meaning father)
“a father’s precious jewel”, “the one who glorifies a father”.It can also mean “fragrant flower”
Zaynab is the name of a daughter and a granddaughter of the prophet Mohammad.
Zaynab bint Muhammad, daughter of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid and Muhammad
Zaynab bint Ali, daughter of Ali ibn Abi Talib, the sister of Husayn ibn Ali, and granddaughter of Muhammad
Zaynab bint Khuzayma, a wife of Muhammad
Zaynab bint Jahsh, a wife of Muhammad
Is this information is correct??
Both spelling are correct Zainab,Zaynab and this name is not from quran.
Thanks

[khawer]

Assalamu alaikum,
i got this further information about this name.i really like this name and make it clear before finalize it.
so if plz you could make it clear which meaning is correct,i am very grateful to you.
“The word Raniya is not used in the Qur’an at all. There is another word (Rana) which is used in the Qur’an that means to be overpowering, victorious, etc.

According to the meaning “winner”, “one who triumphs”, “victor”, “successful” the word would be Ra-i-na, which is not the same as Raniya. So Raniya has different meaning which is to be happy delightful, and pleased.

So to summarize, Ra-i-na (رائنة) is used in the Qur’an and not Raniya.
Thanks
Khawar
