What is the ruling on being named 'Abd al-Nur?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to be named 'Abd al-Nur?

Answer:
'Abd al-Nur is from the names of Allah, for Light is one of His names. However, it is not well known to be named 'Abd al-Nur because there is a fear that the "Light" intended is the light of the sun or the light of the moon, as the term "Light" is shared.
