Is Liba Naveed a suitable name?
Question
how good the name of Liba Naveed as my daughter has this nale?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The name Liba (لِبَّة) means golden necklace.[1]
We could not locate an Arabic origin for the name Naveed. It could, however, be from a Persian origin with the meaning of “good news”.[2]
Liba Naveed is a suitable name.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
