Is it permissible to name a girl "Meera" (with a kasra on the letter Meem), knowing that its meaning in English is "the comet star"?
It is permissible to be named "Mira" if its meaning is "star," because it does not carry a blameworthy meaning in Islamic law. The basic principle is the permissibility of being named any name, except for those explicitly prohibited.
