Given Name MUHAMMAD

Meaning & History
Means "praiseworthy", derived from Arabic
حمد (hamid)
"to praise". This was the name of the prophet who founded the Islamic
religion in the 7th century. According to Muslim belief, at age 40
Muhammad was visited by the angel
Gabriel,
who provided him with the first verses of the Qur'an. Approximately 20
years later he conquered Mecca, the city of his birth, and his followers
controlled most of the Arabian Peninsula at the time of his death in
632.Since the prophet's time his name has
been very popular in the Muslim world. It was borne by several Abbasid
caliphs and six sultans of the Ottoman Empire (though their names are
usually given in the Turkish spelling
Mehmet).
It was also borne by Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, a 9th-century
Persian mathematician and scientist who devised algebra. Other famous
bearers include the founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah (1876-1948)
and the American boxer Muhammad Ali (1942-2016).
