Scholars differ on this name

Yarbu' means 'jerboa', a desert rodent like a rat. It is not forbidden, but a rodent's name is an unattractive meaning for a child in Urdu-speaking homes.

یربوع کا مطلب 'جربوع' ہے، جو صحرا کا چوہے جیسا جانور ہے۔ یہ حرام نہیں، مگر بچے کے لیے چوہے جیسے جانور کا نام اچھا نہیں لگتا۔
