The answer

The name "Manisa" is not mentioned in the available sources and references, except for what is stated in Wikipedia that it is the name of a Turkish city. Since the meaning of the name is not definitively known, it is not advisable to name a daughter with it. It is recommended to choose good names with known meanings, especially the names of the female Companions and the wives and daughters of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, you will be called on the Day of Resurrection by your names and your fathers' names, so make your names good."
