What is the ruling on the name Lucien/Luciana, meaning bearer of light?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Names in Islam are important due to their effect on a person. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, changed many names to improve them. A Muslim should not name his children with foreign names whose meanings are unknown, especially if they are specific to non-Muslims or symbolize their religion or their leaders. The prohibition becomes more severe if the name entails servitude to other than Allah. A ruling cannot be made on the mentioned name due to not knowing its meaning.
