Mugheeth (Arabic: Mughīth, مُغيث) is an Arabic masculine name from the triliteral root gh–w–th (غ و ث), meaning aid or succor. As the active participle, it denotes “the helper,” “rescuer,” or “one who brings relief,” with connotations of life‑saving assistance and even rain sent as relief. In devotional usage, al‑Mughīth is invoked as an epithet of God, though not included in every canonical list of the 99 Names.

The name appears in early Islamic narratives - most famously the companion Mughīth associated with the story of Barīrah - signaling long-standing usage among Arabic speakers. It later spread through the wider Muslim world, especially South Asia. Common variants and transliterations include Mughith, Mughees, Mugheeth, and Mugeeth; theophoric forms such as ʿAbd al‑Mughīth also occur. Related, root-linked choices are Ghawth/Ghaus (“help, succor”). Pronunciation typically approximates “moo-GHEETH,” with the final sound like “th” in “teeth.”
