Why is the name ‘Rubina’ not appropriate for muslims?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I know a few muslim females with the name Rubina. I was just wondering whether it makes them ‘non-muslim’.

Answer

The following appears in the book, ?Names for Muslim Children?:

Roobeenah: Perhaps this word is derivation of the English word Ruby ? a clear, deep-red variety of conrundum, valued as precious stone (Collins Concise English Dictionary). It is a common name amongst the Jewish rather than the English. Such names should not be kept by Muslims.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
