Mehmed is the Turkish form of Mahmud. (This was the name of sultans of the Ottoman Empire).

Mahmud, on the other hand, is an ancient form of Muhammad.

Muhammad is of Arabic origin, and its meaning is "Praiseworthy," name of the prophet. It is derived from Arabic "hamid" which means "to praise."

Thus, Mehmet means "Praiseworthy."

Name "Murat" is again of Arabic origin, and it means "desire," "wish."
