Makhdoom (Arabic: مخدوم‎‎, meaning one who is served and sometimes spelled Makhdum) is an Arabic word meaning "Teacher of Sunnah." It is a title for Pirs, in South and Central Asia. ... Muhammad received him and always addressed him with the title Makhdoom.
my name is also spelled Mehwish...but my relatives call me by my nickname Maha (maha sounds like shortform of Mahwish), i think the right spelling is Mahwish, according to the Persian pronounciation and means moon-like face. ... anyways, i love my name...there r so many meanings to it (from my point of view).
