This name is not Arabic, and its meaning has not been reliably ascertained from an authentic source. It is commonly circulated that it is the name for moonlight or for a wild flower in some countries. The fundamental principle is the permissibility of naming with any name that does not contain a legal prohibition. Although naming with Arabic names is preferable and better, if the meaning of this name does not entail a prohibition, then there is no objection to naming with it, even if other beautiful Arabic names are more befitting than it.
