Is It Permissible To Give An English Or Yoruba Name To A Child In Islam? by smemud(m): 3:04pm On Jun 25, 2017
Names seem to play an important role in a society. Most Muslims who come from the Middle East tend to use or already have Arabic or Islamic names, which may have roots in the Arabic language.
However, there's a growing number of Muslims in the western world, who either reverted to Islam or were born there to Muslim parents and got English names.
So if the two categories have English or Yoruba names (as is the case with my name: Olusegun), can they keep them or should they change them to some sort of Islamic ones? If the case of changing applies, does it also apply to people who come from other countries such as Yoruba,Igbo etc? I am pretty sure those people have their own names rooted in their local culture or language.PLS I DON'T MIND ANY SOURCE FROM THE QUR'AN OR HADITH.
