The name "Hawwa Zaheen"

Q: I am blessed with two daughters. The name of my eldest girl is Zainah Ilhan (4 years) and the youngest one is Hawwa Zaheen (1 year). I have taken these names from the internet. Did I kept the right meaningful names for them as per Islamic origin? Do I need to change their names?

A: We cannot seem to understand the meanings of these names when constructed together. Though individually both the meanings are known but in the construction we cannot understand the meaning.

Hawwa Zaheen seems to be still better than the first name.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
