Although there are seemingly well-reasoned arguments for "baff-uh-MAY", an assumption that French Inquisitors were unfamiliar with the spelling of the name Mohammed is unwarranted. Idres Shah reasons that it is derived from "Abufihamat", pronounced "Bufihimat," a Moorish-Spanish word for "father of wisdom," another word used to describe the Prophet. To a Templar, the similarity of "Abiff" to "Abufihamat"--meaning "Father of Wisdom", may have been irresistible. There is yet another theory that the word is derived from Greek roots, the words "Baphe" and "metis", therefore "Baptism of wisdom".
