Guided one or cradle
In Arabic, Mahd primarily refers to a cradle or a place of rest, symbolizing beginnings and protection. It is also associated with the root for guidance, often linked to the concept of being rightly guided. It is a rare and poetic choice in the Muslim world.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Mahd in 2025.
