What is the meaning of ATHINA? Is it ok to name our daughter with this name?
Answer
Athinaa is the Arabic equivalent of Athens.
Instead of keeping names of this sort, one should keep names mentioned by Allah, Nabi (sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam), or names kept by the Sahabah and the general Muslims.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
