Topic: Naming a Child Zawiyan

(No-65951)

Q We need to name our baby boy. Our family likes the name Ahmad Zawiyan. Please advise whether this name is appropriate.

aIn Arabic, "Zawiyan" (زاویان, Zaawiyaan) can be the dual form of "zaawi", meaning "one who bends, wraps, or gathers". Because the name does not carry any particular meaningful or positive sense, it is not considered suitable. It is better to name a child after one of the Prophets (peace be upon them) or the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them all), or to choose any other name with a good meaning. Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
