Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
Names that claim purity or piety for the bearer are discussed under the hadith in which the Prophet changed the name Barra to Zaynab. Jordan's Dar al-Ifta says the objection is to using such a name to declare oneself pure, not to the name itself; a Hanafi mufti allows such names when they are given as a good omen.
Confidence: medium
