Ruling on giving a child an Amazigh (Berber) name
Question

                I am Amazigh and I want to give my son an Amazigh name. What is the shar‘i ruling on that?.
Praise be to Allah.
      There is nothing wrong with giving your son an Amazigh 
      name, because the basic ruling concerning names is that they are 
      permissible, so long as they do not imply worship of anything other than 
      Allah, may He be exalted – i.e., they are not names like “ ‘Abd” plus the 
      name of some created being – and they are not names that are exclusive to 
      the kuffaar. 

    But you should choose a good name for your son, because this 
    is one of the rights that he has over you. 

    Al-Maawardi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his book 
    Naseehat al-Mulook (p. 167): When a child is born, one of the first ways 
    of honouring him and treating him kindly is to give him a good name, because 
    a good name has an effect on the soul when first hearing it. 

    With regard to what is mustahabb when it comes to names, he 
    said: It (the name) should be a good name and be appropriate to the 
    situation of the child; it should be in accordance with the names of the 
    people of his background, religion and status. End quote. 

    There is nothing wrong with giving the child names that are 
    common among your people and tribe, so long as you choose names that have a 
    good meaning, because names have meanings and have an impact on the people 
    to whom they are given. 

    If you pay attention to names that are used only by Muslims 
    or names that have an Islamic significance, that will be better. The same 
    applies to choosing Arabic names, because of the strong connection between 
    Arabic and Islam.
