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.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
