Mohammad, the proper name of the Arabian prophet called by Europeans Mahomet. The word is derived from the root Hamada and signifies- "the Praised". Mahomet, the great founder of the faith of Islam, was born in Mecca, in April, in the year 569 of the Christian era. He was of the valiant and illustratious tribe of Koreish, of which there were two branches, descended from two brothers, Haschem and Abd. Schems. Haschem, the progenitor of Mahomet, was a great benefactor of Mecca. Mahomet was the only child of Abdullah and Amina. This Abdullah was the youngest and best beloved son of Abd. Al Muttalib, whose office it was to provide provisions and water to the pilgrims who came to visit the Ka'bah, which was always a place of resort long before Mahomet was born. Abd. Al Muttalib and his eldest son Harith cleared out the old well Zamzam to supply water on the spot. But he had many enemies among his countrymen, so that he vowed to devote to the deity his 10th son, should God bless him with so many. The young Abdullah was doomed to die but was replaced by an offering of 100 camels. Calcutta Review No. 43 March 1854 Pages 79 and 88). Abd. Al Muttalib was the son of Haschem who was born (A. D. 464) and fulfilled with princely munificence the office of entertaining pilgrims to the Ka'bah.
