Mohammad
Boy
The Prophet's name. Mohammad is one spelling of the Prophet Muhammad's name. For families who name a son after the Prophet, that link can be part of what they pass on.
This is a tradition in some Muslim communities, not an explanation for every person's name or a rule for all families.
Praised or commendable. Mohammad comes from Arabic Muhammad, meaning “praised” or “commendable”. The related verb ḥamida means “to praise”.
