What is the meaning of the name Shees…it is the name of prophet Adam a.s’s son

Answer

This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff

Sheeth, in English spelled Seth, is the name of Prophet Adam's third son, who is one of the prophets of the Sabians, a rightly guided religious group whose last prophet is Prophet Yahya, and who are mentioned in the Quran as good believers who will enter Paradise.

Sheeth/Shees is said in the Bible to mean "gift from Allah", because he was given to Prophet Adam after his son Habeel (Abel) was killed.

The name Shees is not mentioned in the Quran and does not appear to be mentioned in any authentic Islamic sources, for this reason it is not an Islamic name. But since it has a good meaning and it comes from the Sabians, Muslims can use it, though some scholars may not recommend it since it belongs to another religion, when we Muslims have enough good Islamic names to use for our children.
