Full Meaning of Mowinowden

Mowinowden is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “helper of the faith”, one who helps and supports Islam. It is derived from Muin (helper), which comes from the Ain-W-N Quranic root, and Deen (religion, creed, faith), which comes from the D-Y-N Quranic root. Both of these roots are used often in the Quran and Deen is directly mentioned in the Quran.

And strive hard in (the way of) Allah, (such) a striving as is due to Him; He has chosen you and has not laid upon you an hardship in religion; the faith of your father Ibrahim; He named you Muslims before and in this, that the Apostle may be a bearer of witness to you, and you may be bearers of witness to the people; therefore keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate and hold fast by Allah; He is your Guardian; how excellent the Guardian and how excellent the Helper! (Quran 22:78)
