ArchivesMahin
I checked the comments, but there isn't a pronunciation listed. Would Mahin be pronounced mah-HEEN or MAH-heen? Thanks.

According to this site the Persian female name Mahin is pronounced as mah-HEEN: http://www.gor.net/things/namesfor.html#M
I found a Facebook-account which explains the confusion: "My name is MAHIN/MAAHIN... and its not pronounced same as MAHEEN!"
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=55315213256 :
The following info is given there:
Name: My name is MAHIN/MAAHIN... and its not pronounced same as MAHEEN!
Category: Common Interest - Languages
Description: This group is for all you 'Ma(a)hins' out there!
Don't you just get annoyed when people think your name is a variated spelling of 'Maheen'?! Though its ACTUALLY pronounced the way it is spelt: MAA-HIN (not heeeen!).
SO HERE'S THE DIFFERENCE PEOPLE:
'Maaheen' (مھین) is a name of Persian orgin meaning related to the moon (since MAH is moon in Farsi... e.g MAHnoor means moonlight). Maheen can also mean: greatest; fine or thin texture; feeble voice.
'Maahin' (ماحن) is name of Arabic origin. It is one of many names of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w/pbuh) meaning 'eliminator (of evils)'. Maahin is a unisex name; though an uncommon feminine version does exist: 'Maahina' (ماحنا).
MAHEENS cannot join this group. Only us Maahins!! WOO!!
Extra piece of info: Maahin is also a male Hindu name meaning 'great'.

Hey this information is wrong, it says Maahin was one of the many names of the prophet Muhammad, but it’s actually “Al- Mahi” which was one of the names of the prophet
In sahih bukhari volume 4, book 56, number 732 narrated by Jubair bin Mutim it states “ I am Al-Mahi through whom allah will eliminate infidelity” NOT maahin
Although, the name Mahin has been mentioned in the Quran in
43:52 surah az zukhruf ayah 52
77:20 surah al mursalat ayah 20
68:10 surah al qalam ayah 10
But a child can not be named Mahin regarding the Arabic context as it’s translation in Arabic is worthless and in Islam you are not supposed to name someone with a word that has a bad meaning
Instead someone can be named Mahin regarding the Persian context in which it means “moon- like”
Hope this helps �

This website has Prophets 99 names ... and Mahin is not His name in the 99......http://www.ezsoftech.com/islamic/infallible1f.asp
I am sorry about the wrong information someone gave to you.
What matters is how you write it in arabic and not in English since it is a arabic and persian origin name not English.

Any more information about the Hindu name? In Sanskrit, mahA, cognate with English much, does mean great, but I do not recognize the maahin form: which language is it from?
