ما معنى اسم ألما؟
"Almaa" in Arabic means "black," but the name "Almaa" mentioned in the question may not be Arabic. It might be "Ilma," a name of a prophet in the Book of Mormon. It is also said to be a Turkish name meaning "apple," but a reliable source for this has not been confirmed.
It is preferable to name children with names of known meanings and to avoid those of unknown origin. The basic rule for names is permissibility unless they include a Sharia-forbidden element, such as servitude to other than Allah, glorification of disbelievers or sinners, or promotion of corrupt beliefs. If the name is free from these prohibitions, there is no harm in it. However, it is better to use Islamic names with known meanings.
