Sacred, forbidden, or sanctuary
In Arabic, the name refers to a sacred place or a sanctuary, often associated with the holy precincts of Mecca and Medina. While the word can also mean 'forbidden' in a legalistic religious context, as a given name it typically emphasizes the concept of being protected, inviolable, or sacred. In Korean, it is a separate name meaning 'river' or 'heaven's gift' depending on the hanja used.
