Naming someone "Al-Jarrah" is permissible, as it is a well-known name among Arabs of old. It is a hyperbolic form of "al-jarh" (wounding) and is used to refer to a physician who treats with surgery. However, it is preferable to choose the best names, such as Abdullah, Abdur-Rahman, Muhammad, Ahmad, and the names of the Prophets.
