Topic: Naming a Child Waniya

(No-65931)

Q Assalamu Alaykum, Mufti Sahib! Is it permissible to name a daughter Waniya, and what does the name mean?

a"Waaniyaa" (وانیا) is not a word with any meaning. However, "Waaniyah" (وَانِیَہ) is an Arabic word meaning lazy, weak, and frail in body. Since these meanings are unfavourable, parents should instead name their daughter after one of the Sahabiyat, or choose another purposeful and meaningful name. Allah the Almighty knows best.
