What is the meaning of Raaniyah and Leena, and are they appropriate names for a girl?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
What are the meanings of these names? Are these appropriate for a girl? Raaniyah رَانِيَة (Raa-Alif-Noon-Ya-Ha) Leena لِينَةٌ (Lam-Ya-Noon-Ha).

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

We could not get the word Raniyah in a dictionary. Thus it is not better to keep this name. While Leena means soft hearted, you may keep this name, but it is better to choose any name among the names of Sahabiyat, for example, Fatimah, Khadijah, Zainab, etc.

Allah knows Best!
