About the name Mahmoud
Mahmoud is the passive participle of the root h-m-d, describing the person who receives praise rather than the one who gives it. The phrase "al-maqam al-mahmud", the praised station, appears in the Quran in Surah Al-Isra. The name is so widespread in Egypt that many people think of it as typically Egyptian, though it is used across the Levant and the Gulf too. Egyptians often shorten it affectionately to Hooda.
