Rawasi: A Quranic word meaning constants and firmly established things, and it describes mountains. There is no evidence to suggest that naming [a child] Rawasi is disliked. Some Companions were named "Sakhr" (rock) and "Jabal" (mountain). It is preferable to name [daughters] after the women Companions and the righteous predecessors, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Improve your names."
