Does the name "Inayah" carry the meaning of protection and a gift from God, and is it permissible to name a newborn girl with it?

Naming children is an important matter, and the basic principle regarding names is permissibility unless there is a Sharia-related prohibition. The name "Inaya" means attention, care, and preservation, and there is no harm in naming a female child with it, as there is no Sharia-related prohibition.
