About the name Muhammad Zawawi
Muhammad Zawawi is built from two parts. Muhammad is a very common first element in boys' names, meaning praised or commendable; its spellings vary, such as Mohd, Mohamad or Muhamad. Zawawi comes from the Arabic nisba al-Zawawi (الزواوي), meaning 'of the Zawawa' (Zwawa, زواوة), tribes of the Djurdjura mountains in Kabylia, Algeria. Zauwawi is another spelling of the second part. This combination is used in Malaysia.
