Origin
Meaning and history of Mohammadtaha
The name Mohammadtaha is a combination of two distinct names, Mohammad and Taha, each with its own origin and meaning. The first part, Mohammad, is an Arabic name derived from the root word "hamd," which means "praise" or "to praise." It is closely associated with the name of the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
The name Mohammad has been in use since the 7th century AD, when the Prophet Muhammad lived and preached in the Arabian Peninsula. In Islamic tradition, the name Mohammad is revered and holds great significance, as it is believed to be the name given by God to the last messenger.
The second part of the name, Taha, is also of Arabic origin and is mentioned in the Qur'an as a name for Prophet Muhammad. It is derived from the Arabic word "tah," which means "to purify" or "to cleanse." The name Taha is often interpreted as "the pure one" or "the purified one."
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Mohammadtaha was Al-Muhtadi bi'llah (836-870 AD), an Abbasid caliph who ruled from 869 to 870 AD. Another notable figure was Mohammadtaha Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207-1273), a renowned Persian poet and Sufi mystic whose works have had a profound impact on Islamic literature and philosophy.
In the 16th century, Mohammadtaha al-Ghazzi (1516-1594) was a prominent Islamic scholar and historian from Damascus, best known for his biographical dictionary of notable individuals from the 7th to the 16th century.
Mohammadtaha Pasha (1801-1877) was an Ottoman statesman and diplomat who served as the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire from 1854 to 1857.
In more recent history, Mohammadtaha Sabbaghian (1924-2014) was an Iranian scholar and philosopher who made significant contributions to the field of Islamic philosophy and mysticism.
While the name Mohammadtaha has its roots in the Arabic language and Islamic tradition, it has been embraced by people of various cultural backgrounds and ethnicities across the world, serving as a reminder of the rich diversity and shared heritage of humanity.

FAQ
Mohammadtaha: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Mohammadtaha?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Mohammadtaha going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Mohammadtaha a common name?
We classify Mohammadtaha as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Mohammadtaha most popular?
The single biggest year for Mohammadtaha was 2023, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Mohammadtaha is about 3 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Mohammadtaha in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Mohammadtaha a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Mohammadtaha in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Mohammadtaha still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Mohammadtaha in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Mohammadtaha can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
