Mohomet is Arabic, French in Origin.

Mohomet is an archaic English/Scots rendering of the Arabic name Muhammad, filtered through medieval Latin Mahometus and Old French Mahomet after contact with the Islamic world in the Crusades. The underlying Arabic root ḥ-m-d means “to praise,” so the name signifies “the praised one” or “worthy of praise.” In medieval and early modern European texts, Mohomet/Mahomet commonly denoted the Prophet of Islam, often in polemical or literary contexts, which explains the spelling’s strong historical flavor.

Use as a personal given name in English-speaking countries was rare, while Muslim communities preserved forms closer to Arabic. Modern variants include Muhammad, Mohammed, Mohamed, Mohammad, and regional forms such as Mehmet/Mehmed (Turkish), Muhamet (Albanian), Mamadou (West African), and Mahomet (archaic French/English). Mohomet today reads as antiquated; parents seeking similar sound with clearer cultural grounding usually choose Muhammad or Mohammed.
