Zidane, Zaidan Mohammad, Ahmed Zaidan, Arsh Rahman.

are the above names correct and have good meaning can i keep these name ?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Zaidan (زيدان) means “abundance and plenty”. This generally means abundance of good within oneself[1].

Arsh Rahman means “The throne of The Most Merciful”

It is advisable to use the name Mohammad or Ahmed with Zaidan.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
