Q: My wife and I are expecting a baby boy Insha Allah. There are two names that we would like to keep:
- Zaydaan
- Meezaan (word from surah Ar Rahmaan)
Are these names permissible for a baby boy and if so please can let us know what the meaning is as well as the correct english spelling?
A: As far a Zaydaan is concerned, there is no name like this. However, you can keep the name Meezaan which means fairness, justice, scale or balance.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best.
