Topic: Naming a Child "Meral"

(No-65763)

Q Mufti Sahib, is it acceptable to name a child Meral? What does the name mean?

aMeral (میرال) is a Turkish word meaning "gazelle". Based on this meaning, naming a child Meral is permissible. However, it is better to choose a name from among the names of the Sahabah and Sahabiyat (may Allah be pleased with them all), or at least a name with a good and wholesome meaning. Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
