The Ruling on Naming a Child Iman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his second question, he says: I have a daughter whom I named Iman. Is this one of the names of praise? If so, should I change her name?

Answer:
We know of no issue with it, because its meaning is belief; Iman means belief. We know of no issue with it. If you change it, there is no harm, but we know of no issue with it. Yes.
