Question:
Salaam Alaykum Sheikh,
Our baby boy is due to come to this world beginning of next month Insha-Allah. We have thought of two names: Yasir and Yameen, we want to confirm their meanings and could you also tell us which name is better in terms of meaning.
Jazakallah.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Yasir means difficulties are removed by/for him, as in yusr. Yamin means right hand as in ashab al-yamin. Ayman is preferred as a personal name and means the same thing as well as grace and favour, as in yumn.
