Meaning of the Name of Muhammad
Honorifics
The names of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Arabic: اسماء النبي; Asma un-Nabi or اسماء محمد; Asma Muhammad) are described throughout the Quran and in Prophetic literature (Hadiths and Sirah). The Arabs say that the more names a thing is given, the more noble it is. A number of scholars have compiled collections of the names of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to increase the appreciation of who he actually is. In some cases, they collected 99 names to match the 99 Names of Allah mentioned in a famous Hadith. In other cases, they collected far more.
List of Names and Titles
Below is a list of 201 titles/names of Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ according to the collection of Imam al-Jazuli. It is numbered as 202, as the names Ra’uf and Rahim (187 and 188 on the list, respectively) are separate. However, Imam al-Jazuli considered Ra’uf and Rahim a single name since they come together, without any conjunction, in the Quran.
