Topic: Naming a Child Birjees

(No-65889)

Q Is it correct to name a girl "Birjees", and what does the name mean?

aIt should be noted that the books of Arabic lexicology give two meanings for "Birjees" (بِرْجِیس, with a kasra under ب and ج, and a sukoon on ر and ی): (1) the planet Jupiter, and (2) a milk-giving she-camel. Given both of these meanings, it is not appropriate to name a girl Birjees. Instead, a name should be chosen from the names of the Ummahaat ul-Mumineen or other Sahabiyat (may Allah be pleased with them all), or any other name with a good meaning. Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
