Topic: Naming a Child Ertugrul

(No-66080)

Q Mufti Sahib, what is the ruling on naming a child Ertugrul, and what does this name mean? Please provide guidance.

aErtugrul (ارطغرل) is a Turkish word. In Turkish, "Er" (ار) means man or brave, and "Tugrul" (طغرل) means eagle or a brave bird that strikes. Accordingly, "Ertugrul" means a brave man or eagle-like person. It is permissible to use the name Ertugrul. However, since its correct pronunciation is not easy to render in Urdu, it is better to choose a name from among the names of the Prophets (alayhimus salam) or the Sahabah Kiram (ridwanullahi alayhim ajmain). Allah the Almighty knows best. Darul Ifta Al-Ikhlas, Karachi.
