What is the ruling on naming with "Dhat al-Mahasin" if it is one of the names of Satan?

There is no objection to naming with the mentioned name, as its meaning is one possessing noble morals or praiseworthy attributes. This meaning is found in the names of the Salaf, such as Abu al-Mahasin and Abu al-Ma'ali. There is no proof that it is one of the names of Satan, but if that were proven, it should be changed due to the dislike of being named with the names of devils.
