Muhammed Zaid, Esa, Hamdaan, Leyyah and Zeenah
Question
Could I have the proper meaning and correct spelling for the following names, I am due to have a baby next month Insha Allah and I am looking for good names, maybe you can even suggest a few if I have not already mentioned them? Boy names: Mohammed Zaid, Isa, Hamdan . Girl names: leyya, Zayna.
Answer
Muhammed Zaid - Muhammed means the praise worthy. This is the Mubaarak name of Hazrat Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and Zaid means increase. This is the name of a Sahabi of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).
Esa - The name of Nabi Esa (Alayhis Salaam). This is not an Arabic name, thus we are unable to obtain its exact meaning.
Hamdaan - This is the name of a Yemeni Arab tribe.
Leyyah - This was the name of mother of the ten brothers of Hazrat Yusuf (Alayhis Salaam)
Zeenah - means beautiful
And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
