Brit.

/məˈhɒmᵻt/, U.S.

/məˈhɑmət/

Forms: early Middle English Mahimet, Middle English Macameþ, Middle English Macamethe, Middle English Machamete, Middle English Machamote, Middle English Machemete, Middle English Machometh, Middle English Macomet, Middle English Macomete, Middle English Macumeþ, Middle English Maghnete (transmission error), Middle English Makamed, Middle English Makamede, Middle English Makameet, Middle English Makamet, Middle English Makamete, Middle English Makameth, Middle English Makemed, Middle English Makemet, Middle English Makemete, Middle English Makomet, Middle English Makomete, Middle English Makometh, Middle English–1500s Machamyte, Middle English–1500s Machomet, Middle English–1500s Machomete, Middle English–1500s Machomett, Middle English–1500s Macomit, Middle English–1500s Macomite, Middle English–1600s Mahumet, Middle English– Mahomet, 1500s Machamet, 1500s Macomette, 1500s Macomyt, 1500s Macomyte, 1500s Mahomete, 1500s Mahomette, 1600s Mah'met, 1600s Mawmett; also Scottish pre-1700 Machomeit, pre-1700 Machomet, pre-1700 Machomete, pre-1700 Machomyte, pre-1700 Macomeit, pre-1700 Mahomeit, pre-1700 Mahomete, pre-1700 Mahomyte. Also with lower-case initial.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French Mahumet, Mahomet; Latin Machometus.

Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman Mahumet, Mahomet, Machomete and Old French, Middle French Mahomet, Mahommet (12th cent. in sense 1), and its etymon (ii) post-classical Latin Machometus, Mahometus, Mahumetus (from 13th cent. in British sources; c1125 in form Mahumet ), ultimately < Arabic Muḥammad Muhammad n., probably via an Arabic regional form Maḥammad ; compare mammet n. The word represents an inaccurate rendering of the Arabic name Muḥammad , borne by the founder of the religion of Islam (died 632): vocalization as Maḥammad was formerly widespread in the Muslim West, and popular forms included Maḥummad . N.E.D. (1904) considered Mahomet still the popular form, but it was subsequently almost entirely superseded by the forms Mohammed and, more recently, Muhammad n. The latter is the form favoured by Muslims; Mahomet is considered an unacceptable rendering of the Prophet's name.In verse, the word was often stressed on the first syllable, with or without elision of the second syllable: see quot. 1607 at sense 1, and quots. 1678, 1822 at sense 2a. In 12th cent. apparently in isolated use as surname:1161 in Publ. Pipe Roll Soc. (1927) IV. 10 Mahumet reddit Compotum de v m pro duello. Apparently recorded slightly earlier in Macamathehou (field name, Spridlington, Lincolnshire; 1216–72; now lost), which has been interpreted ‘heathen mound’ (compare how n.²). The early Middle English form Mahimet is probably an isolated borrowing; compare mammet n.

Now archaic and rare.

†1. An idol. Cf. mammet n. Obsolete.

†4. A breed of white or pale-coloured pigeon. Obsolete. [Probably so called in allusion to the following disparaging anecdote, common in English writers of the 16th and 17th centuries:

1574 Strange Things out of Seb. Munster f. 63^v For he [sc. Mahomet] accustomed and taught a Doue to be fedde, and fetch meate at his eares, the which Doue his most subtile and craftye maister called the holy Ghoste.

However, it is also possible that the allusion could be to the pigeons which in Islamic tradition nested in the opening of a cave where Muhammad was sheltering from pursuers, and which are commonly referred to in English versions of the life of Muhammad by the end of the 18th cent. Compare Middle French mahometan, mahumetan as a bird name (1598).]
