Muzammil meaning
Muzammil (مزمل) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
Wrapped in one's garments
Also used to mean: wrapped up, enveloped
Muzammil (مزمل) is the Arabic muzzammil, which Lane's lexicon explains as originally mutazammil: a man wrapped in his garments. The verb tazammala means to wrap oneself in one's clothes. The word opens Surah 73 of the Quran, al-Muzzammil, where it addresses the Prophet Muhammad. Name lists give the meaning as "wrapped up" or "enveloped", matching the dictionary. The name is used by Muslim families in India and Pakistan, and is also spelled Muzzammil.
