Mohanad (مهند), pronounced moh-hah-nahd, traces its edge-sharp meaning to classical Arabic, where it described swords of prized Indian steel—an image of resilience that still flickers in modern Arab poetry and media. A cognate of Muhannad, the name cuts across borders, appearing in Levantine television dramas and on football jerseys from Riyadh to Santiago, quietly befriending Spanish-speaking audiences drawn to its rhythmic cadence. In the United States it has remained a rare yet steady choice; Social Security data show single-digit annual births for most years since 1985, with a brief peak at rank 692 that year and another visibility bump in 2017. Parents who choose Mohanad often look for a moniker that conveys strength without bombast, tradition without confinement—a blade sheathed in courtesy, ready to navigate both English- and Arabic-speaking worlds with equal fluency.
