Assalam o Alaiqum! With due respect I want to know the meaning of girl name “Hudaibia”. Because I would like to name my daughter Hudaibia, but I am not sure of the meaning. Please reply me as soon as possible and also suggest me some names if hudaibia is not permissible. I shall be very thankful to you.

“Hudaibia” is the name of a well, there is a village adjacent to it which is famous by the same name. This village is situated at a distance of 9 miles from Makkah. Hudaibia name may be kept but it is not suitable. It is better to choose one of the names of the wives of the holy Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم), his daughters or sahabiyat for your daughter.
