Previous Episode: 471 | The Origin of the name Mohammad and in the Bible, Bro. Mel
Mel says that in the ancient Ugaritic language about three thousand years ago the name Muhammad/ Mehmet meant desirable or precious. Also in Sematic it meant Barak; blessed and was meant for the Messiah. Mel also talks about having the Name on coins with crosses on them; for example a 6th century coin in Yemen in 523 A.D. with the name Mehmet in Sabaic script. The term was used for Jesus and then was taken by the Muslims to mean an Arabian prophet.
