The question

What is the ruling on naming a newborn girl "Judiyah," derived from the name "Judi" (the name of the mountain where Noah's Ark rested, peace be upon him)? And is it permissible, from a Sharia perspective, to add the ta' marbutah to the name "Judi"?

The answer

There is no legal or linguistic impediment to naming a girl "Joudiya". It is the feminine form of "Joudi", as if she is attributed to it, and there is no objection to adding the feminine "ta marbuta" to "Joudi" with the aforementioned meaning.
