Qur'anic / Islamic Reference
73:1
Muzzammil (الْمُزَّمِّلُ) is directly attested in the Quran as an address to the Prophet in Surah Al-Muzzammil (73:1) — يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ — literally 'O you who are wrapped (in garments).' As a rare personal name it preserves the Quranic epithet and is chosen by families wishing to connect a child to the devotional atmosphere invoked by the surah (night vigils, reflection). The name is historically attested in Islamic naming practice though it never achieved wide popular use, remaining uncommon compared with names of prophets. Related names include [[Muddathir]] and [[Muhammad]] which reference adjacent Quranic passages and the same prophetic context. Batch ID: 61122.
