La réponse est là:
The Illinois town's name derives from the "Mahomet Lodge," the local Masonic Lodge at the time the town was searching for a new name. Its use as the name of the lodge was a manifestation of the Freemasons' liberal use of religious names and stone mason tools and symbols. An alternative theory states that the name Mahomet was arbitrarily assigned when the conflicting names were noted by the US Postal Service.[6]
Although the unusual spelling sometimes confuses newcomers, the pronunciation of Mahomet is muh-HOMM-it.

The Mahomet Aquifer consists of sand and gravel deposited by glacial meltwater flowing westward along the Mahomet Bedrock Valley
The Mahomet Aquifer is the most important aquifer in east-central Illinois. The sand and gravel aquifer is part of the buried Mahomet Bedrock Valley. It underlies 15 counties and ranges from 50 to 200 feet (15 to 60 m) thick. It supplies over 100 million gallons a day (MGD) of groundwater for public water use, industrial supply, and irrigation.
The name of the aquifer is an archaic spelling of "Muhammad", the founder of Islam, but the aquifer was not named for any religious reason. The Aquifer is named for Mahomet, Illinois, a small town on the Sangamon River, above the aquifer. The town was named after the code name area Freemasons had given that area before the town had been founded. Most residents appear to be unaware of the meaning of the name, or how it was chosen.
