What is the meaning of the my name? It is Maneeza.

Answer

We have been unsuccessful in locating the meaning of 'Maneeza'. The closes we have come to is, 'Munazza' which means to be far above, too exalted for. (al-Mawrid pg.1120; Dar al-Ilm lilmalayin)

However, it is inappropriate to keep this name because this quality belongs to Allah Ta'ala.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
