The answer

All praise is due to Allah. It is from the for a Muslim to name their children with good names, as it has been reported in the that people will be called on the Day of Resurrection by their names and the names of their fathers. Among the best names for girls are the names of the Mothers of the Believers, the daughters of the Prophet, and the female Companions and Successors. Regarding the aforementioned name, we do not know its meaning and it appears to be non-Arabic. Therefore, one should not name with it without knowing its meaning, especially in this era where concepts have become mixed, out of fear that it might carry a bad meaning or contradict religion and morals.
