Ahmad is an -Arabic- name for "praised" or "praiseworthy."

In Aramaic, the cognate root it comes from (khet-mim-dalet) means "desire," and by idiom can mean "sexual appetite" (which would be very embarrassing). As such, Aramaic does not historically have a native name from that root. :-)

Ahmad [ أحمد ] means "most commendable" in Arabic (from the root kh.m.d- praise).

Edit: oops, sorry, I didn't see the NOT Arabic part...

greatly praised

Aramaic and Arabic are both Semitic languages, the meaning might be very similar.
