Name ''Harram'' is related to Masjid e Harram , i just want to ask if this name is good

Answer

This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff

Two words can be written as Haram.

The word Haram refers to something that's forbidden (Haraam). I haven't seen that used as a name and it doesn't sound good to me since it means forbidden. Masjid e Haram also means The Forbidden Mosque.

However there is also the word Haram that's pronounced as HU(mble)+RU(n)+M(other). This one means "sacred place", "forbidden place" (not just forbidden, but forbidden place), and the area inside Masjid al-Haraam is called The Haram (notice Haraam and Haram are two different words).

The first one (Haraam) should not be used as a name because it has a negative meaning, especially in Arab cultures. The second one is usually used as another word for "wife" in Arabic. When a newspaper says "The haram of the Egyptian president" it is a respectful way of saying the president's wife, since his wife is "sacred and forbidden" to everyone except him.

I looked on the internet and found that there is a female singer whose name is Haram an-Noor (both words create one name), and it means Sanctuary of Light, here the name doesn't sound bad. But by itself it could confuse people.

However if it is a common name in your culture then it is up to you.

    My name is haram, and I don’t see how I should feel bad because its meaning is forbidden.
