My wife put daughters name (Naha) and my father is asking for (Naila) but my wife is not agree with this name she is asking it is not a Islamic name. Please tell meanings of (Naha & Naila)

Answer

Respected Brother-in-Islam

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

Naila is a noun derived from the verb, 'Naala - yanaalu', which means one who achieves / acquires.

Naha is a verb which means to prohibit. The noun derived from this verb is Nahiya. The name Nahiya is more appropriate.
