Quran 56:8. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.
Say it may-MOON. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Maimoon, Maimun and Maymoon. In Arabic it is written with 5 letters, from right to left: م mim + ي ya + م mim + و waw + ن nun.
Maymun is a name with a good meaning, which is what the Sunnah asks for. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved of your names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman",3 and after these, any name with a good meaning is a sound choice. With the father's name it becomes Maymun bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
