Naming Girls with Names from the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, is there any harm in naming girls with names from the Qur'an?

Answer:
It is not permissible to name people with names from the Qur'an, or with the names of the surahs, or with the names of the verses. However, if one uses a word that matches some of the words of the Qur'an, such as "Afnan" or "Ayyah" or others like that, there is no harm in that. Yes.
