Is it permissible to name a newborn girl "Toleen," knowing that its meaning is "halo of moonlight" or "a type of flower"?

Children should be given the best names. No meaning for the aforementioned name was found in Arabic lexicons, and it is likely a foreign name. This means it could be good or it could be bad. Therefore, we do not advise naming with it unless it is confirmed that its meaning is good; in that case, naming with it would be permissible.
