Muiz
A boy's name of Arabic origin with 43 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
When Muiz hit its peak of 6 births in 2004, the internet was beginning to expose parents to a wider world of naming options, and pop culture influence on baby names was at an all-time high.
Today, Muiz reads as a name tied to a specific era — which is exactly what draws some parents to it.
Muiz is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Muiz is a boy's baby name of Arabic origin, derived from the root 'azza, meaning 'one who bestows honor' or 'one who gives strength and dignity.'
The name has historical significance in the Islamic world — Al-Muizz was the 4th Fatimid caliph who founded the city of Cairo in 969 CE. As an epithet, Al-Muizz (المعز) means 'the one who grants glory.' In Muslim communities, Muiz is chosen for its powerful meaning and its connection to Islamic tradition.
