Origin
Meaning and history of Muhammadisa
The name Muhammadisa finds its origins in the Arabic language and Islamic culture, dating back to the 7th century CE. It is a combination of two components: "Muhammad" and "isa." The former is derived from the Arabic root "hamd," meaning "to praise" or "to glorify," and is a reference to the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam. The latter part, "isa," is the Arabic name for Jesus Christ, revered as a prophet in Islamic tradition.
This name holds significant religious and historical significance in the Islamic world. It is believed to have first appeared in early Islamic texts and manuscripts, reflecting the reverence held for both Muhammad and Jesus in the Muslim faith. However, records of its earliest usage as a given name are scarce.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Muhammadisa. One of the earliest recorded examples is Muhammadisa ibn Ali al-Husayni (born around 1050 CE), a renowned Islamic scholar and theologian from Baghdad. He authored several works on Islamic jurisprudence and theology, contributing to the intellectual discourse of his time.
Another prominent figure was Muhammadisa al-Qurashi (1172-1239 CE), a Sufi mystic and poet from the Islamic Golden Age. His poems and spiritual writings had a profound impact on the development of Sufism and Islamic mystical traditions.
In the 14th century, Muhammadisa al-Andalusi (1300-1370 CE) was a respected Islamic philosopher and mathematician from the Andalusian region of Spain. He made significant contributions to the fields of astronomy and geometry, reflecting the rich intellectual heritage of the Islamic world during that period.
During the 16th century, Muhammadisa al-Bakri (1510-1580 CE) was a prominent Islamic scholar and jurist from Cairo. He authored several influential works on Islamic law and jurisprudence, which became widely studied and referenced in the Muslim world.
More recently, Muhammadisa al-Rashidi (1880-1947 CE) was a prominent religious leader and reformer from Saudi Arabia. He played a crucial role in the revival of Islamic teachings and practices in the Arabian Peninsula, advocating for a return to the roots of Islam.
While the name Muhammadisa has deep historical roots and significance, its usage as a given name has been relatively uncommon throughout history, often reserved for individuals of notable religious or intellectual stature within the Islamic tradition.

FAQ
Muhammadisa: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Muhammadisa?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Muhammadisa 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 31,159,485 US residents.
Is Muhammadisa a common name?
We classify Muhammadisa as "Very Rare". It ranks above 30.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 11 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Muhammadisa most popular?
The single biggest year for Muhammadisa was 2023, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Muhammadisa 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 Muhammadisa in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Muhammadisa a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Muhammadisa 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 Muhammadisa still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Muhammadisa 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 Muhammadisa 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.
