What is the correct meaning of the name "Sufyan" and what is the ruling on naming with it after learning its various connotations?

Sufyan is an Arabic name denoting lightness and swiftness of movement. It is derived from "the wind sifting the dust" (saft al-reeh al-turaab), and it is well-known with a dammah (Sufyān). Two great imams were named Sufyan: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah and Sufyan al-Thawri. There is no harm in naming a child with this name, especially with the intention of seeking blessing through these two imams.
