Fatwa #51237 March 2002India
Assalam Alaikum Mufti Sahab, Can you please tell me meaning of names like Ayan & Ayman
Answer
1. Ayman means 'right side'. The name of the woman who breastfed Nabi
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was Umm Ayman.
2. As for 'Ayan', we are not exactly certain of the way you may be
pronouncing this word. Ain' the plural of which is 'Ayun' refers to the eyes
or it could mean a spring / fountain. I'yaan means eyewitnessing. In any
case, this is not a suitable word to be kept as somebody's name.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
