Is naming a newborn "Berenice" permissible, knowing that the name is Greek and means "bringer of victory"?
The name "Eileen" cannot be judged as permissible or impermissible because it is foreign and its meaning is unknown. If its meaning is good and it is not specific to disbelievers, then there is no legal impediment to naming with it. However, if it is specific to them or carries a bad meaning, then it is forbidden to name with it.
