| Meaning | "The praised one", "Worthy of reverence", and "Laudable or commendable". |
Mahmud (also spelled Mahmood, Mahmoud, Mahmut, Mehmood, Mahmoed or Mehmud) is the main transliteration of the Arabic given name (Arabic: محمود, Maḥmūd) that comes from the Arabic triconsonantal root of Ḥ-M-D "Praise". The pronunciation of the name is [ mah-mood ]. [1]
Despite sharing the same triconsonantal root, this name is distinct from the name Muhammad. One of the Islamic prophet Muhammad's many names is Mahmud.[2]
The name is common in most parts of the Islamic world; it is used as a given name for males, while the variant Mahmuda is given to females.[source?]This is a unique name (not in the top 1000 newborn names in the US in 2021).[3]
