What is the origin and meaning of the name Luteen (لتين)? And is it permissible to name a newborn with it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
A parent should choose good names for their children, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, you will be called on the Day of Resurrection by your names, so make your names good." The name "Luteen" means "sweet" in the language of some people in Yemen. If the name is derived from this meaning, then there is no objection to naming with it. However, it is preferable to use Arabic names with known meanings and to avoid strange names.
