Question

My brother and his wife will be having a baby girl soon and he wants to name his daughter Thuriyaah Insha Allah. I am unable to find a meaning for this name. I have found Thurayaah but this is not the same.

Answer

They should keep the name Thurayyah which means star.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
