Full Meaning of Mowhemmad

Mowhemmad is a direct Quranic name for boys that means “a person in which praiseworthy characteristics are abundant”, “a person who deserves constant praise due to their good traits”. It is the name of Islam’s Prophet (salalahu alaihi wa sallam). Before Islam, only seven people among the Arabs were known to have this name according to the Lisan al-Arab dictionary. After Islam it became one of the world’s most popular names, if not the most popular one. Mowhemmad is mentioned seven times in the Quran.
