Is the name "Yara" forbidden in Islam, and is there any evidence for that?

There is no objection to using foreign names as long as they do not contain a Shariah prohibition, such as indicating servitude or glorification to other than Allah, or symbolizing polytheistic or immoral symbols, or containing an omen of evil. It is preferable to choose the best names for a child, such as the names of prophets, companions, and scholars.
