Arabic term or phrase: ادخينة
is this a proper name that should be written in English with the same pronunciation?

English translation:Idkhenah
Explanation:
The only thing I found related to your word on the net is الدخينة as a word for cigarette. Maybe it's so but pronunced ادخينة as the ل is silent here.

Your context is talking about a private room, so it may be like those rooms in which people isolate themselves to read, smoke, listen to some music, or write.

My suggestion: It's not a proper name for sure, so transliterate it and ask your client about its meaning or take the meaning I suggested and rephrase it right after the transliteration. Even better, just transliterate :)

agree  Randa Farhat: yes, should keep name as is (transliterate) and add meaning in english between two brackets, as "a smoke room, smoking room"; depending on use of room whether for smoking or for putting up smoke to warm up the drums for example!
