Ahmad, of Arabic origin, means 'highly praised' or 'commendable.' It is derived from the root verb 'hamida,' which signifies praise. This name holds significant importance in Islamic culture as it is one of the 99 Names of Allah. Ahmad is often associated with Prophet Muhammad's title, 'the Praised One.'
"Ahmand had its peak popularity in 1977 and 1979 with five births each year, but it declined thereafter, with only five births recorded in 1992."
