Where Muhammed-Emin Comes From
Muhammed is the Turkish spelling of Arabic Muhammad, from the root h-m-d, to praise. Emin is the Turkish form of Arabic amin, faithful or reliable, from a root that also gives iman, faith, and the word amen is a distant relative. Before his prophethood Muhammad was known in Mecca as al-Amin, and Turkish tradition often placed the two together, as in Mehmet Emin, the more everyday form. Hyphenated spellings such as this one appear among Turkish families in France. The two parts can also be used separately.
Muhammed-Emin in Use
Turkish naming often combines a religious first element with a virtue word, as in Mehmet Ali. Emin alone is also a well-used given name in Turkey, Azerbaijan and Bosnia.
