Muhammed is a boy’s name that really doesn’t need any introduction. It, alongside its variants, has routinely topped the world’s most popular boy’s names. While it goes on to mean “praiseworthy” in Arabic, it’s the moniker’s religious dimension that lends it an air of divinity and spirituality. As the name borne by the leader and founder of Islam, Prophet Muhammad, there’s no denying that it’s worth its weight in gold. He is considered by many of his followers as the role model to emulate.
