Keeping the name Zeenath

· 10 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I need origin and pronounciation for these names Aiza, Zaina, Simrah, Laiba? I am very confused. I want to keep Aiza and Zaina, but don't have proper pronounciation for this name. For Laiba some say it is not a good name to keep as it has different meaning in Arabic, now for Simrah some say the name doesn't exist? Please need details about these four names?

Answer

You may keep the name Zeenath. In Arabic, it is spelt as زِيْنَة which means beautiful.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
