Need help with my name
My name is Keith V Harris and I am a recent convert to Islam. I have found that my name is of Celtic origin which is pagan and I wish to change it. I was wondering if Yusef Abd al Nur Harris or just Abdul Nur Harris was preferable.

Do I have to change my last name?
Asalamo Alaikum brothers and sisters. I am a newly Muslim revert and I have a general question regarding my name. My prior name before reverting was Arun Siva. Arun is pretty much pronounced like “Harun” the arabic word for Aaron (mentioned in the Quran). I would like to know if I have to change my last name to something else? I was thinking Harun Syed Rahman. Also, I have to let government and passports know.
We named our daughter Kinza; do we have to change it?
I have an 8 year old daughter. When she was born, we named her Kinza. We found this name in many Islamic books and websites which had a meaning of “hidden treasure”, derived from the Arabic word “KANZ” which appears in the Holy Quran (meaning treasure). However, a few years ago, we read somewhere that the word KANZ actually means the treasure which we keep to ourselves unlawfully and do not pay Zakah on it.
