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.
