Answer

This is an official answer by QuranicNames.com Staff

The names Mahad and Mahd are not related to Muhammad. Many people write Mhd or something similar as a short version of Muhamad, but Mhd by itself is not a name, it is just an abbreviation.

Mahad and Mahd could be many different names from the M-H26-D Quranic root, please take a look at this page to see all of the relevant names: M-H26-D. Click on each name to see its information.

You can name your son Mahad Ahmad since both are good names.
