About the name Mohammed

Mohammed comes from the Arabic root h-m-d, "praise". Its pattern stresses repetition, so the sense is someone praised many times rather than once. It is the name of the Prophet Muhammad, appears four times in the Quran, and a whole surah carries it. It is the most common boy's name across the Muslim world. Egyptians usually write it Mohamed, while Gulf families prefer Mohammed; Muhammad is the standard academic spelling.
