Is it permissible to name someone "Retaj," and is it considered a good name?

It is permissible to name a daughter "Ritajj." The basic principle regarding names is permissibility unless the name involves a Shariah prohibition or a bad meaning. In the Arabic language, "Ritajj" refers to: a closed door or a great door, and from this comes "Ritajj al-Kaaba," meaning its door. It may also refer to the Kaaba itself.
