Answer

This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff

Yes you can change your name according to the consensus of scholars, provided that the new name does not have a bad meaning. If you are a Muslim convert, you do not have to change your name unless  your current name has a meaning that is against Islam, for example names of pagan deities. For names starting with S please see: Islamic (Quranic) Boy Names Starting With S
