What is the ruling on naming a baby boy Eliano (إليانو)?
The ruling on the permissibility of naming with a particular name depends on knowing its meaning, its connotation, or its intent. Sufficient information to rule on the mentioned name was not available, but the available meanings for it do not contain any general prohibition.
A Muslim should choose the best names in meaning and the easiest in pronunciation, for names are like an address for the named. It has been reported: "Indeed, you will be called on the Day of Resurrection by your names and your fathers' names, so make your names good."
It is better to avoid foreign names whose meanings are completely unknown, for fear that they might contain a forbidden meaning.
