What is the meaning of the name Mohi ?

The baby name Mohi is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MOH-hee (IPA: /ˈmoʊhi/).

Mohi is Arabic in Origin.

Mohi has two well-attested origins. In Māori, Mohi is the standard form of the biblical Moses, adopted in 19th‑century mission translations; it ultimately comes from Hebrew Moshe, often glossed “drawn out of the water.” The name was borne by several 19th‑century Māori leaders and clergymen. Related forms include Moses (English), Moshe (Hebrew), Moisés (Spanish), and Musa (Arabic).

In Arabic and South Asian use, Mohi is also a short form of Arabic Muhyī ad‑Dīn/Mohiuddin, meaning “reviver of the faith,” from the root ḥ‑y‑y “to give life.” Variants include Mohy, Muhi, Mohieddine, Mohyeddin, and Mohiuddin. As a diminutive it may be used independently or within compound theophoric names. Today it appears in New Zealand and the Pacific as well as across South Asia and the Middle East.
