I edited in the transcription, and the characters can be looked up in a dictionary, such as [善](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=善) and [任](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=任).  Names can generally be made up of any random characters the person (or their parents) want.  (Note that 任 can also be a surname, but then it would be the first character in the name.)  Is there anything you'd want to know beyond this?  Otherwise the question is unlikely to be helpful for others, and probably should be closed.

I don't think there's much more we're able to say here---the background to this name might not be apparent from the characters.  Perhaps it's a combination of [善良](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=善良) = "kindhearted" and [仁慈](https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?wdqb=仁慈) = "benevolent", but perhaps it's something else.
