Meaning & Origin
Abbreviation of Maryland: a state of the United States.
Md is a boy's baby name used as a given name primarily in South Asian Muslim communities as an abbreviation of Muhammad — the Arabic name meaning 'praised' or 'praiseworthy,' and the name of the Prophet of Islam. The abbreviation tradition reflects both reverence and practicality.
In Bangladesh, Pakistan, and among South Asian diaspora communities, Md is formally registered as a prefix or standalone given name — a shorthand that carries the full spiritual weight of Muhammad while being abbreviated for everyday bureaucratic and legal use. It is one of the most common given names in Bangladesh.
