I have 2 options for naming my son. Ayden Esmael / Asher Esmael. Kindly let us know if they are permissible and if they convey proper meanings. Also why asher is not enlisted at your site? And one more thing, if we look up for the name Nayel in any other site, it says acquirer/earner, while as your site says someone who wins at fighting, how so? Best Regards.

This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff

For Ayden please see: Meaning of Aydin and if it is Islamic

Esmael is another spelling of Ismaeel, for details see: Ismaeel

 As for Asher, it can be another spelling of Ashaar, for its details see: Ashaar

If Asher is another spelling of Ashaar, then it is an acceptable name, and both names you mentioned are acceptable. Also note that Asher, pronounced [(U)p] + [(SHI)ft + p(R)ay], is an Arabic word that means "most evil", so be careful when pronouncing the name.

For Nayel, the meaning mentioned on our site is correct, and the meaning you mentioned is correct as well. We have updated the entry for this name and added both meanings and an additional third meaning to it.
