What is the meaning of the name Mohamad ?

The baby name Mohamad is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Arabic: /muˈħammad/,English (common): /moʊˈhɑːməd/ (mo-HAH-məd).

Mohamad is Arabic in Origin.

Mohamad is an Arabic masculine name, a streamlined transliteration of Muhammad, from the Semitic root ḥ-m-d meaning “to praise,” hence “praiseworthy.” It rose to preeminence through the 7th‑century Prophet of Islam, after whom countless boys were named across the Muslim world. The spelling Mohamad reflects Levantine and Gulf usage and modern Latin‑alphabet conventions, while retaining the same religious resonance and honorific connotations.

Common variants include Muhammad, Mohammad, Mohammed, Mohamed, Muhammed, and regional forms such as Persian Mohammad and Turkish Mehmet; related cognates are Ahmad/Ahmed and Mahmud/Mahmoud from the same root. In South and Southeast Asia it is often abbreviated (Mohd., Md.) or used as a compound (e.g., Mohamad Ali). Nicknames include Mo and Momo. The name also appears as a patronymic surname. Meaning and usage remain consistent: expressing praise and admiration.
