Muaz is of Arabic origin, derived from the word 'mu'azzam', which means 'eminent' or 'distinguished'. It is a unisex name, though it's more commonly used for males. The name Muaz has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique sound and meaning. In Islamic tradition, it is associated with Mu'az bin Jabal, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad who was known for his wisdom and courage. However, Muaz as a given name is not directly linked to any specific religious figure or story. It stands alone as a name that connotes excellence and distinction.
"The name Muaz experienced steady growth in popularity over time, with a significant increase from the late 2000s onwards. The most notable peaks occurred recently, with 36 births in 2023 being the highest recorded."
