Mahomet). Whilst it has been plausibly seen as an instance of a variant of the name of Muhammed being used to mean heathen , pagan idol or similar (based on the false but common medieval Christian belief that the prophet Muhammad was worshipped as a god), here in reference to a barrow that was considered to be a pre-Christian site, it is worth noting that there are a small number of people with names and surnames derived from Arabic ....
