What is the meaning of the name Melissa? And is it permissible to name with it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The meaning of the name "Malsan" could not be found in Arabic dictionaries with the pronunciation mentioned. If the name is Arabic, it is likely to be a distortion or an incorrect diminutive of the word "malsa'" which means the opposite of roughness, and in this case, there is no objection to naming with it. However, if the name is foreign, its meaning is unknown, and therefore, it cannot be definitively determined whether it is permissible to name with it or not. It is recommended to use good Arabic names with clear meanings to avoid unknown names.
