The name ‘Awn-Allaah

There is nothing wrong with
using the name ‘Awn-Allaah, if what is meant is help from Allaah, because
this is attributing a verbal noun to the one who does the action. 

The scholars of the
Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas were asked: 

I am a man called
‘Awn-Allaah ibn Rasheed al-‘Utaybi. On two occasions I saw in a dream that
someone was calling me by the name ‘Abd al-Ma’een. Hence I though that my
name is one of the names that are disliked and it is permissible to change
it. Is the name ‘Awn-Allaah one of the disliked names that should be
changed? If that is the case, should I change it to the name that I was
addressed by (‘Abd al-‘Ma’een)? If the name of Allaah is omitted, my name
would be ‘Awn ibn Rasheed – is that permissible? 

They replied: 

Using the name ‘Awn-Allaah
is not haraam or makrooh according to sharee’ah, because the meaning of this
name is help from Allaah, and this is a meaning that is acceptable in Islam;
rather it is in harmony with Islamic teachings. 

Based on that, there is no
need to change your name or drop part of it. You should not pay any
attention to the dreams you see, because dreams may be true or they may be
confused dreams that do not mean anything, so no shar’i ruling or changes of
name can be based on them. End quote.
