Name Jibreel

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwa.org.au
This is more out of curiosity than anything else, but I have never come across a person named “Jibreel”. Is this because it is not permissible to name a child ‘Jibreel’?

Answer:

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

It is permissible to name a child ‘Jibreel’. There are Muslims with that name.

And Allah knows best.
