What is the ruling on naming a baby girl "Tia" (تيا)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
If the name is not specific to disbelievers and does not contain a forbidden or repulsive meaning, then there is no objection to naming with it. However, foreign names whose meanings are not precisely known should not be used by a Muslim unless their meaning is known and it is confirmed that they do not contain a bad meaning or a slogan that contradicts religion and morals. There is ample sufficiency in the names of prophets, companions, and righteous believers.
