In worldbuilding, specifically names of a specific set of people, is it okay to use words that are not apart of my language IRL?

In my novel, I plan on some characters being named complete direct translations of words that are not in the books language. That is, I'm writing in English, however, these characters would be named in a language that i can't even speak(they won't be named with actual names but literal translations of other words.)
So is this oaky?
