Muhammad means “praised” or “commendable” in Arabic; its letters reach an 11, a figure left whole that speaks of inspired sensitivity.
The 11 gives a Muhammad a fine intuition, a strong sensitivity and the wish to live up to high ideals.

Muhammad is an Arabic name meaning “praised” or “commendable”, formed from the root h-m-d, “to praise”.
It was borne by the prophet who founded Islam in the 7th century, and Muslims have used it ever since, in many spellings. Several Abbasid caliphs and Ottoman sultans bore it, the sultans in the Turkish form Mehmet. Scholars such as al-Khwarizmi, the Persian mathematician linked with the beginnings of algebra, also carried it.
Muhammad counts eight letters and a sum of 29; the 11 that comes next is left whole.
Intuition and inspiration belong to it. A Muhammad often senses what is unsaid, trusts a first impression that proves right and may be moved by music, scripture or an honest conversation. High standards accompany the number, and he tends to hold himself to them.
U, A and A, his vowels, make 5: freedom and curiosity, a wish to explore, to travel and to meet people from other backgrounds. M, H, M, M and D total 6 on the consonant side, a manner that is attentive and responsible, looking after family and friends and keeping his word.
M opens the name with a 4, a steady, reliable look. U, the first vowel, is a 3, which suggests that a new situation prompts talk, jokes or an exchange of ideas first.
Intuition, curiosity and care make a sensitive but active combination. Millions share the name, and each life has its own other numbers.

Each letter is worth a digit from 1 to 9, and the total is reduced to a single digit.
M 4 + U 3 + H 8 + A 1 + M 4 + M 4 + A 1 + D 4 = 29 → 11
M 4 + U 3 + H 8 + A 1 + M 4 + M 4 + A 1 + D 4 = 29 → 11
Muhammad means “praised” or “commendable” in Arabic and is the name of the prophet who founded Islam. The letters make 29 and then an 11, a figure of intuition and inspiration; vowels worth 5 and consonants worth 6 add curiosity and care.
Not necessarily. Mohammed, with an O and an E, totals 36 and comes to 9, while Muhammad totals 29 and comes to 11. Arabic names are transliterated in several ways, and each spelling has its own calculation, so the exact spelling on the official document is the one that counts.
