Assalam – o – Alaikum I want to name my Baby boy Shehzil. Can you please confirm the meaning and is it a Muslim name? Jazak Allah.

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

Shehzil can be formed from Sheh (a variant of Shah, meaning "king") and zil (Arabic for "shade"). The meaning would become "a king's shade", i.e. the care and protection provided by a king. It could also mean "the best shade", "the best place of rest", since Sheh/Shah can also be used to turn a word into its superlative form. This is not exactly an Islamic name, but Muslims can use it since it doesn't have a bad meaning. The word zil (ظل in Arabic) is a direct Quranic word.

But keep in mind that it is possible that this name comes from other sources.
