Answer
Uways: a dimunitive form of the word, 'Aws' meaning a gift, present, etc.
Uzayr (Arabic) derived from Ta'zeer meaning to assist, support, etc. (al-Busooruz Zaahira pg.135; Darul Kitaab)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
