What is the ruling on naming with "Lipa," given the differing meanings across languages, and does it include meanings prohibited by Islamic law? And why is it permissible to name with "Malak" if the meaning in Urdu is considered a forbidden commendation?

The word "Liba" has not been found in dictionaries or other sources, therefore it is not possible to determine if it carries a meaning that is forbidden by Islamic law. The questioner is advised to choose a good name for his daughter that is free from ambiguity or confusion.
