It is not permissible for Muslims to use these names, because that is imitating the Christians in the names that belong uniquely to them.

Initially they were titles that were added to names, then they started to be used as names. Other disliked named which are widespread in some Muslim countries are names which include the words al-Deen (or uddin/uddeen) and al-Islam, such as Noor al-Deen and ‘Imaad al-Deen or Noor al-Islam and so on. The reason why this is disliked is that when a person hears the name, he will think that it is describing the person named.
