    Dear Brothers n Sisters, Alyan means supreme, exalted or high, is it permesible to use such names which is usually used only for Allah subhana watala.
    i feel this has to be understood better or the meaning should be studied more carefully.
    i am looking for a name for my child, could be a boy or a girl not known.

    I think to name Abdul Alyan (slave of the one who is most high /supreme) would make more sense.
    & ALLAH knows best..

    If we spell as Aaliyaan instead of Alyan, will the meaning remain same as Alyan, because people may call my baby Alean.

    Your explanation and those comments have helped quite a lot, I thank you all!

    Alyan and Aliyaan are different both by pronounction and I’m not sure but by meaning as well. So be careful about that. Real I think is ‘Alyan’ and I’m not sure Allah knows best.

    Aslaam o alaikum,
    I was reading with interest whereby some people think that the name or attribute associated with ALLAH (swt) cannot be used as a name for a creation like human child. Unfortunately this thinking is not right. Why?, well simple rather than going into long discussion and debate, remember one of the most admired personalities in muslim history is Hazrat Ali (RA), infact Ali could be second most prevalent name among muslims, Ali is name of ALLAH (Ism e sifati), there is no Hadith that our beloved Prophet sallalahoillaiwassalm ordered Hazarat Ali (RA) to change his name, if He would have ordered Hazarat Ali (RA) then he would have changed his name. Over centuries muslims have named their children ALI, and then later on this thinking of possibly indulging in shirk if you name your child on name used for ALLAH (SWT), and last point isnt all good names are of ALLAH (SWT), so should we use all bad names for our selves and our children.Please think

    Now-a-day it has been a fashion of some so called secular Muslims that they follow some rules of Islam but they never show any feeling to follow islamic culture tradition in their daily.social or community can’t understand whether he is a Muslim or belong to any other religion by their names,dress up,exchange of greetings & other manners .But Holy ProphetSAW said any one follows other alien culture than his Sunnah he belongs to their religion.Following alien’s name any Muslim can’t name his new born children ‘s name.
