Is “Yasfir” a good Muslim name or should I change it due to its meaning?

Should i change my name?

You should change this name it has no meaning. You may consider the name Yasir which means, wealthy; this is a suitable name in Islam. Alternatively, there are many other suitable names in Islam which are available in books and sites.

And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
