Fatwa #1031315 December 2003Malaysia

I plan to name my daughter, Ummu Maisarah, Maisarah or Siti Maisarah. Among those three names which one is better and what is the meaning?

Answer

Maisarah means "ease, comfort, prosperity, abundance etc.

Ummu Maisarah means the Mother of Maisarah.

We are unaware of the meaning of siti.

We would advise you to make mashwarah with your wife to decide on which one to choose. May Allah make your daughter a means of ease and prosperity for you and the entire Ummah

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Mufti Ebrahim Desai
