Mohammad is a form of Muhammad, an Arabic name meaning “praiseworthy”, derived from the root “hamida” meaning “to praise”.
Mohammad is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.
The name Mohammad isn’t among the current fashionable names in our top 10 stats, but nonetheless, it’s still very popular and common. In our SmartGenius ranking of all boys names, Mohammad ranks 553. Recently, out of every 10,000 newborn boys, approximately 3 were named Mohammad. In the entire USA, approximately 13,736 people – children, adults and seniors – currently bear the name Mohammad. That is 0.00 % of all living Americans.
Mohammad is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Mohammad cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #442 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2000. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Mohammad, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their son. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Mohammad seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Mohammad was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
536 babies were named Mohammad in 2022 - that's 1 in 301,168 newborn boys. With this number, the boys' name Mohammad ranked 524 in our SmartGenius first name statistics in 2022, the most recent year for which records are available.
You may not know anyone named Mohammad, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 29 states are home to men and boys named Mohammad. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few men and boys named Mohammad living in one state or another. If your name is Mohammad and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Virginia, which has the most people named Mohammad relative to the population, you still have to ask 4,465 men and boys their names before you hear Mohammad as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a particularly popular initial letter for boys’ names – 6.2% of all common boys’ names in the US begin with this letter. By the way, the most common first letters for boys’ names are J and A.
With eight letters, the name Mohammad is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that with 6.2% of all boys' names that begin with an M, this first letter is much more common than the other letters on average. If you are now wondering which boys’ name with M is the most common... the answer is Michael.
If your name is Mohammad and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Mohammad, you can simply say:
