What is the ruling on naming a child Sira?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The aforementioned name has no known meaning in Arabic dictionaries, and therefore, no judgment can be passed on it. A Muslim should not name their child with names whose meanings are unknown, as they might carry a bad meaning or contradict religion and morals. Well-known Islamic and Arabic names with clear meanings are sufficient, making it unnecessary to use names whose meanings are unknown.
