As far as I know Mohmmad's correct spelling of his name is Muhammad.
His family surname was Kureshi and they were Hindus. His uncle has
written a poem glorifying Lord Shiva. He was brought up by his uncle who
did not approve his views and was later for this reason was killed by Muhammad.
Muhammad as name never existed before and Muslims believe it must have been
given to him by God. Funnily Muhammad is made up of two Sanskrit words,
Muha meaning mouth and mmad meaning ego. So it is possible his uncle must have
given him the name after listening to his views about religion.
