pls could you tell me the meaning of tahreem and is it a good name to keep for a girl

Answer

This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff

Tahreem or Tehreem is the name of a chapter in the Quran and means "prohibition", "prevention", something that's haram (forbidden). It is not a good name since it implies sins and hardship. It is the name of a chapter of the Quran, which is why some people use it, however the name does not refer to a good concept, as the chapter is admonishing the Prophet ﷺ for forbidding himself things that God has made lawful to him.

You are not forbidden from using this name, but we recommend that you do not use it since it doesn't have a good meaning.

    I named my daughter Tehreem Fatima. In my language, I was told it means ” sacred “. She is 6 years old now and her name is already on her pass port and other documents. What should I do ? It’s too late to change her name now.

      Scholars advise that there is no need to change the name of a person if later it is found out that the name doesn’t have a good meaning. Since she is now known by the name Tehreem, she should keep this name to avoid the hardship of changing it.

      When we say a name is not recommended, it only applies to naming new babies.

      Since you named her Tehreem thinking it means “sacred”, this is the meaning of the name for her, since a word’s meaning depends on our intention.

    I had my name tehreem till I was 8 years old. Tgen my parent consult some big scholars of Pakistan and Saudia and both requested to change it which my parents did alhumdulillah. Itsbetter if someo e has this name change it, because word tehreem is arabic which means forbidden and no parent would like to call their child forbidden 🙂

    As salaamu alaikum,

    I would just like to add and clarify that for everyone saying Tahreem is a “good” name because it is in the Quran, please do your research (i.e.- read the translation). Yes, it certainly is in the Quran, but in the Quran, Sūrat at-Taḥreem (Arabic: سورة التحريم‎‎) is the Chapter on “Banning, Prohibition”. There are many lessons in the Quran, of good, bad, haraam, and halaal. As scholars have said, please do not give your daughters this name. And Allah knows best.

    Tahreem name means the successful or the winner. This girl’s name. Origin of roots and names is associated with Arabic language. The meaning of the name is good and the parent can name Tahreem the daughter of their newborn baby. Even you can recommend this name to ones who are going to be daddy soon.
