Mohammod in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 225 people with the first name Mohammod, which placed it at #35,641 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

The next largest groups are White (13.3%) and Two or More Races (4.4%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Mohammod described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Mohammod at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Mohammod
The name Mohammod is derived from the Arabic name Muhammad, which has its roots in the Semitic languages. It is a variant spelling of the name that is commonly used in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in Bangladesh and parts of India.
The name Muhammad means "praised" or "praiseworthy" in Arabic, and it is the personal name of the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam. The name gained widespread popularity after the birth of the Prophet Muhammad in the late 6th century AD in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Muhammad can be found in the Quran, the central religious text of Islam. The name is mentioned several times throughout the Quran, including in verses praising the Prophet Muhammad and his teachings.
Throughout history, the name Mohammod has been carried by numerous notable individuals, including religious scholars, rulers, and intellectuals. Some of the most prominent figures with this name include:
1. Mohammod Ali Jinnah (1876-1948), a lawyer and politician who played a pivotal role in the creation of Pakistan and served as the country's first Governor-General.
2. Mohammod Abdur Rahim (1756-1857), a Bengali writer and poet who is considered one of the pioneers of modern Bengali literature.
3. Mohammod Ghori (1162-1206), a Sultan of the Ghurid dynasty who conquered large parts of the Indian subcontinent and laid the foundations for the Delhi Sultanate.
4. Mohammod Reza Pahlavi (1919-1980), the last Shah of Iran who ruled from 1941 until his overthrow in the Iranian Revolution of 1979.
5. Mohammod Iqbal (1877-1938), a renowned poet and philosopher who is widely regarded as the spiritual father of Pakistan and a pioneer of the modern Muslim renaissance.
The name Mohammod has been embraced by people from various cultural and religious backgrounds, not just those of Islamic faith. Its popularity can be attributed to the profound influence of the Prophet Muhammad on the world, as well as the admiration for his teachings and principles.

FAQ
Mohammod: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Mohammod?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 10 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Mohammod 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 34,275,434 US residents.
Is Mohammod a common name?
We classify Mohammod as "Very Rare". It ranks above 28.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 10 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Mohammod most popular?
The single biggest year for Mohammod was 2023, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Mohammod is about 3 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Mohammod in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 225 people with the name Mohammod, or 0.07 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #35,641 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Mohammod in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Mohammod?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Mohammod appears almost entirely male. Of the 215 people counted with this name, 100.0% were male and only a very small share were female. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Mohammod?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Mohammod is Asian/Pacific Islander at 76.9%. The next largest groups are White (13.3%) and Two or More Races (4.4%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Mohammod most often in the Census?
Asian/Pacific Islander is the largest reported group for people named Mohammod in the 2020 Census, accounting for 76.9% (173 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
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 Mohammod in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Mohammod a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Mohammod 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 Mohammod still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Mohammod 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 Mohammod 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.
