Ancient root and name story

Origin: Arabic. Meaning: Muhammad means "praised" or "commendable," derived from the Arabic root h-m-d (hamida), "to praise." It is one of the most widely used names in the world.

The 7th-century Prophet Muhammad, who died in 632, is the central historical and religious figure behind the name and behind its spread across the Muslim world. This is presented as context for the name's history and reach, not as a depiction of any sacred figure.

Muhammad remains extremely popular internationally and carries deep meaning for many families. Its clear sense of praise and honor is a large part of its enduring significance.
