Md

Md Origin and Meaning

The name Md is a boy's name.

Md is most commonly used as an abbreviation for 'Mohammed' (or Muhammad), one of the world's most popular masculine names honoring the Prophet of Islam. This abbreviated form is particularly common in Bangladesh, parts of India, and some other South Asian countries, often appearing on official documents and signatures. The full name Mohammed derives from Arabic and means 'praiseworthy' or 'praised one.' While technically an abbreviation, Md functions as a given name in its own right for many bearers. Its extreme brevity makes it distinctive, though it may cause confusion in international contexts where such abbreviations are less familiar. For many families, using Md represents a connection to Islamic tradition while offering a compact alternative to the full name, which has numerous spelling variations across different cultures.
