Mahmoud (name)

Mahmoud (name)

ʼMaḥmoud (محمود also Mahmud), is the transliteration of an Arabic given name that comes from the Arabic Triconsonantal root of Ḥ-M-D حمد ("praise"), meaning "praised one" implying "one who constantly thanks God". One of the Islamic prophet Muhammad's many names is Mahmoud, the name 'Muhammad' pre-dating 'Mahmoud'.

The context by which "Mahmoud" or "Mahmud" is referred to as "praised", can at times be mistaken, it is because the Prophet Muhammad was so highly regarded in Islam that the name "Mahmud" has come to mean "praised one".
