Girls Names

Keeping the name "Anaya"

Q: We intend to name our baby girl Anaya or Anaiah. You are requested to let us know the meaning of this word in English and if it's an extract from Qura'an. Please also let us know that if this word has some historic or cultural back ground.

The name "Thurayyah"

Q: My brother and his wife will be having a baby girl soon and he wants to name his daughter Thuriyaah Insha Allah. I am unable to find a meaning for this name. I have found Thurayaah but this is not the same.

Keeping the name "suwaidah"

Q: I am finding a good name for my baby girl due soon. I am thinking of Suwaidah. I know there is a Sahabah by the name of Suwaid bin Samit, and from the internet I saw that there is a narrator of hadith named Suwaidah. But I couldn't find the meaning of the name. I was told it could have come from the root word Saada, meaning 'Azim/Karim, from which the word Sayyid comes. Is this correct?

The word "Tahreem"

Q: What does tahreem mean? Is this right name for a girl? My sister has this name and parents are deciding to change her name as it means haram from surah al-tahreem. But when I searchd this meaning on internet I found it HURMAT WALI. So please clarify the exact meaning of this name so that we can take a proper decision.
