What is the ruling on naming a daughter "Sherwet"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Names hold significance and influence on the soul, and Muslims should distinguish themselves through their names. The Sunnah is to choose a good name, and the best names for girls are those of the Mothers of the Believers, female Companions, and righteous women like Maryam. If the name mentioned in the question does not carry a forbidden or disliked meaning, then there is no objection to it. However, naming after the Mothers of the Believers and the female Companions is preferable.
