In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful





The names given, Aliza & Alizay are not suitable Islamic names. Aliza is a Hebrew name.




As names have an effect and impact on the child, it is recommended that a suitable name is selected from; the names of the female companions of the Prophet and pious servants of Allah.






For alternatives, please find below an online directory for names, although not extensive:

May Allah make her the coolness of her parent’s eyes, a source of blessing for the Ummah of our Prophet ; and grant her ease & comfort in this world and the hereafter. Aameen






And Allah Ta’āla knows best
