Please tell me the meaning of Zeyan, Maaiz, Maha and Zoha.
Question
Are these arabic muslims names and were there any famous muslims with these names in the history. Also will it be good to na me our chaild with any of these names.
Answer
There are no such names like Maha and Zoha, therefore, it will be inappropriate to keep these names.
Zain means an ornament or it could also mean to beautify / decorate. Maaiz was the name of a Sahaabi (Radhiallaahu Anhu). These two names (Zain and Maaiz) are good and appropriate names.
