Nurmagomed
Нурмагомед
A Russified spelling joining Arabic nur, "light", with Magomed, the Caucasus's civil-registry form of Muhammad.
Meaning and origin
Nurmagomed carries the same devotional pattern as Nurmuhamad into Russian civil records: a family names a son "light of Muhammad" using the Prophet's Russified form rather than the Avar spelling.
