The adjectives possessing Alif-Nun are not fully declinable with the condition that the adjective does not accept the feminine indicator "Ta". Therefore the word [عريانُ] is fully declinable due to existence of [عريانةٌ]. This also clarifies that it is not adjectival name since it is fully declinable.
Permanent names of persons or places are called proper nouns أَسْمَاْءُ عَلَمٍ, other nouns are called common nouns أَسْمَاْءُ جِنْسٍ. Proper nouns refer to unique or particular objects (cannot be preceded by words such as "some" or "any"); common nouns refer to non-unique or non-particular objects (can be preceded by words such as "some" or "any").

Ar'Reh'maan: Personal Name of Allah, the Exalted
1. Rules of Arabic language signify it only as Personal Name.
The Nouns in Arabic, whether Proper Nouns or Common Nouns, in their original/default state, as a rule are always "Nominative" or مرفوع i.e. the last consonant has a vowel sign as is here نُ. The name is the code, which gives the basic cognition of existence and presence of a thing and person. Hence, name is the introduction for apparent/initial recognition of a thing and person. Cognition of the code/name of a thing or person is the elementary/first step in gaining knowledge about the thing or person. Name of a thing or person gives it or him a vivid distinction from all other things and persons and makes it or him distinguished/identified/definite/isolated [معرفة] and grants ability to others to identify and describe/remember/recall and/or mention-refer it or him to others. The name/code serves as a basis/foundation for others to enquire and study about it to gain further knowledge. Attributive names/adjectival descriptions give further information, insight and knowledge about the thing or person introduced by a Personal Name. These are complimentary in nature and help to acquaint others about the inner-self [بَاطِن] of the named object or person/being. Every person and thing/object that exists has two aspects, the one evidently apparent [ظَاهر] notwithstanding whether or not it is in the range of focus of someone, and the other is the inner-self, hidden, infolded, not apparent but invisibly embedded therein [بَاطِن]. The evidently apparent [ظَاهر] is the reflection of the fact of existence, and its cognition and reference is by the Name. The pursuit-journey of knowledge is from cognition of existence/Name towards knowing and perceiving the inner-self [بَاطِن] of that which exists and its relationships and equations with all that exists. We cannot have the absolute knowledge of anything and person/being unless we know its/his inner-self [بَاطِن], after its cognition, i.e. introductory knowledge of its Name. Once we know the inner-self, all that is secreted, hidden and its relationships with everything else, we know that thing and Person in near absolute sense. Thereupon, it or He becomes more visible and apparent than the shining Sun in a bright and clear day, even without being physically in visual sight, the [ظَاهر] aspect of Him. Therefore, we know Him/him with such conviction, which is the absolute-exalted end of the knowledge. This type of knowledge, with reference to personalities, can be attained only about two, Ar'Reh'maan, the Exalted and Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam-The Mercy Personified, since the بَاطِن of both is quite extensively visible to us all around and through the courtesy of Grand Qur'aan. Personal Names that introduce and grant cognition of an existing personality, unlike attributive/adjectival names/descriptions, never have duality and plurality. Neither there is any process/phenomenon/rule in the Arabic language for “feminization” or masculinization of proper nouns/names. A peculiar and distinguishing feature of Arabic language is that, unlike other languages say English and Urdu in which the adjective comes first-prioritized than the described one, the مُوْصُوف/the one who is being described/portrayed is always mentioned first followed by the صِفَة/Adjective. Arabic, the language of our Guide Lord Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam, is a language of truth and fact. مُوْصُوف/the one being described/portrayed is mentioned first since he is First in Existence and it is always the مُوْصُوف who has either inherently and intrinsically the mentioned صِفَة/adjective, quality, trait, or has acquired/adopted it. Hence, Proper Noun/Personal Name NEVER find a place at a secondary place as an adjective in the Adjectival Phrases.
Personal Names are also not the first noun [مضاف]
of possessive construction/genitive phrases [الاضافة].
They are always second noun [مضاف اليه]
in possessive phrases. One will never find The
fundamental and simple features and principles of Arabic language
vividly reflect that The Grand Qur'aan unambiguously explains to us, in various references and contexts that this is but the Unique and Exclusively the Personal Name of Allah, the Exalted, and the Sustainer Lord of all that exists.
2. Surrender and allegiance is by the Title and/or Personal Name of Lord; not by adjectival names.
The moment we pick up the book titled
Beginning is with Allah's personal name Ar'Reh'maan Who is The Fountain of Infinite Mercy.
The Infinite Glory and Praise stands specified eternally, entirely and exclusively for Allah, The Sustainer Lord of the Known/Existing Worlds-All that exists. [01:02]
The Sustainer Lord of the Worlds is Ar'Reh'maan Who is The Fountain of Infinite Mercy. [01:03]
In addition, when we go through the Book, we find that the same advice/instruction was given to the Last Messenger Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam who was assigned the responsibility of conveying and delivering this Book to the humanity exactly as was presented to him:
You [Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] read [the Book presented to you] with the Name of your Sustainer Lord, the One Who created [every thing]. [96:01] And the Messenger started reading the
Book pronouncing;
We are required to physically follow him- act and
move in the
manner that none comes in between him and us
[as is directed by him
It is
a matter of common sense that the relation between the Creator and the
created one is that of the Sustainer Lord [
You, the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] instruct them, telling; "You people are hereby directed to call/address [your Sustainer Lord] Allah, or you people call/address [by personal name] Ar'Reh'maan". [Refer 17:110]
We call and address persons by the title, status, or position held by
him or by calling/taking his personal name; like "Mr. President"; "O
Nurani". In between

In time and space the demand as well as declaration of allegiance and subservience by the subject is always with one's Sustainer Lord and is demanded and pronounced by His Title/Position and Personal Name and never by the attributes of the one for whom allegiance is shown. Allah has all the positive attributes one could count but declaration of allegiance and surrendering of one's will and freedom to Him is never with reference to any attribute. Let us see the Grand Qur'aan completely on this issue: O you the Mankind, you people be subservient/allegiant to your Sustainer Lord [His Will/Book] Who is the One Who created you people and those people who existed in times before you, [Refer 2:21] And remember when We took a covenant from the posterity of Iesraa'eel; "You people will be subservient/subject/allegiant to none except Allah" [Refer 2:83] [His same statement in same

[Reverting from parenthetic]; Ar'Reh'maan is the Sustainer Lord of the Skies and the Earth and whatever is between the two, therefore, you the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] continue [calling/inviting people] to be subservient/subject/allegiant to Him/Ar'Reh'maan and you remain coolly perseverant/steadfast in demonstrating servitude for Him. o Do you know for Him any parallel by distinction of Name [Ar'Reh'maan]?

And explore, from [the record/history incorporated in Qur'aan] whom We sent aforetimes before you from Our Messengers,
o as to whether other than Ar'Reh'maan [Our self] did We ever declare others as iela'aha which are worshipped? [43:45] [His similar statement in

Infinitely Glorious and Elevated and above such needs/support/weakness is the Sustainer Lord of the Skies and the Earth and the Sustainer Lord of Throne of Absolute Sovereignty from all that they people conjecturally attribute". Then having told them, you the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] leave them playing in their conjectural discourses till they meet/encounter the Day, the one which is promised to them. [43:81-83]
That you people should be subject/subservient/allegiant to none whatsoever except Allah. [Refer 46:21]
And I did not create the groups of Jinn and Human beings except for the purpose that they should, by will and affection, submit in subservience/allegiance to Me [which will not compromise their self respect] [51:56]

Therefore let them show subjection/subservience/allegiance to the Sustainer Lord of this House. [106:03]
The Grand Qur'aan
has thus consistently revealed to us that in time and space the
requisition and declaration for becoming,
by personal will and affection, a
subject/subservient/allegiant
is only with reference to
You, the Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] tell them; "You people call/address [your Sustainer Lord] Allah or call/address [by personal name] Ar'Reh'maan" [17:110] These are two ways/manners of address; one formal addressing by the exclusive Title/Position held by the addressee, and the other informal where addressee is called by Personal Name. Another way/manner of one to one address, distinct from the above style, is to call by that trait/attribute which is the distinction of addressee from others. It is restricted in one to one conversation/address. For introducing a person to a third person, the adjectival traits and characteristics are never the reference for identification. Firstly, the introduction is by the Title/Position held or personal name and then the attributes find mention for detailed and comprehensive understanding about the referred person.
"At whatever point in time and by whatever name of uniqueness should you people [wish to] seek attention, it is fair since the Names describing distinct attribute of exacting balance/proportioned/equilibrium/virtue/ admirable/grandeur/just/absoluteness/beauty with sublime connotation are appropriate and exclusive for Him." [Refer 17:110]
The Names having distinction of exacting balance/appropriate/proportioned/ equilibrium/virtue/ admirable/absolutely void of negativity/grandeur/just/absoluteness/beauty are appropriate for referring to Allah, therefore you people call/address Him by such beautiful names. [Refer 7:180] Allah, there is no such reality as lord/deity/iela'aha except Him alone. o The Names describing distinct attribute of exacting balance/proportioned/equilibrium/virtue/admirable/ grandeur/just/absoluteness/beauty with sublime connotation are appropriate and exclusive for Him. [20:08] The Names describing distinct attribute of exacting balance/proportioned/equilibrium/virtue/admirable/ grandeur/just/absoluteness/beauty with sublime connotation are appropriate and exclusive for Him. [Refer 59:24]
The trait/attribute has depth, intensity, positivism, and negativism. In
addition, in some traits the intermediary line is very delicate/thin
between positivism and negativism.
It has, therefore, vividly been stated that only those names which have
the quality and distinction of The introduction and cognition of a Living being and personality is by the personal name. Similarly, the introduction and recognition of a thing and object is by its code/name. It is the elementary stage/first step in the pursuit of knowledge. The personal name and the code of the thing is mere cognition and witnessing it. The comprehensive knowledge and understanding about a personality is achievable by exposure of his traits and attributes. Therefore
Beginning is with Allah's personal name Ar'Reh'maan Who is The Fountain of Infinite Mercy. [01:01]
