Transliterations

The name may be abbreviated to ''Md.'', ''Mohd.'', ''Muhd.'', ''Mhd.'', or simply ''M.'' because of its utmost meaning, its popularity has meant that it can become hard to distinguish people when there is a multitude with the same name. In some cases it may be to keep a personal name less tied to a religious context. This is only done if the person has a second given name. Some men who have ''Muhammad'' (or variant) as a first name choose not to use it, as it is such a common name. Instead they use another given name. For example,

Legality and restrictions


China

In 2017 legislation made it illegal in China to give children names that the Chinese government deemed to "exaggerate religious fervor”. This prohibition included a ban on naming children Muhammad. The legislation was officially intended to prevent "religious extremism" among the country's Uighur people, Uighur minority, but appears to have been a possible act of Persecution of Muslims#China, persecution against the Uighur community.


Pakistan

The government of Pakistan forbids members of its Ahmadis in Pakistan, Ahmadi community from naming their children Muhammad. Al Jazeera reported in 2021 that Blasphemy in Pakistan, blasphemy charges had been filed against Ahmadis who wrote "Mohammed" on a wedding invitation in an unspecified amount of instances.
