The default is that it is permissible to be named with any name, unless there is a religious prohibition in it.
The meaning of the mentioned name is not known in dictionaries, and it may be a foreign name.
It should not be used as a name until its meaning is known, as it may contain a bad meaning or a slogan that contradicts religion and morals.
