(may Allah have mercy him)
His full name (including his ancestral chain)
Muhammad ibn Eisa ibn Sawra/Sura ibn Musa ibn al-Ḍaḥḥak al-Sulami al-Bughi al-Tirmidhi.
TIRMIDH is also pronounced as: 1) Turmudh, 2) Tarmidh and 3) Tarmadh. However, ‘Tirmidh’ is more common. It is a small city located in the Southern part of current day Uzbekistan, close to the Amu Darya (river Oxus) near the border of Afghanistan.
BUGH is the suburb of Tirmidh where Imam Tirmidhi was born (See map).
He belonged to the Banu Sulaym tribe; hence he was called al-Sulami al-Bughi al-Tirmidhi.
His Kunya (honorific name) is Abu Eisa.
Objection: There is a narration in the Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shayba wherein the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) is reported to have disliked having Abu Eisa as Kunya, saying that Eisa (peace be upon him) had no father!
Answer: The prohibition was abrogated and only applicable in the beginning of Islam, in order to safeguard correct Aqida. The permissibility is established in Sunan Abi Dawud from the Companion Mughira ibn Shu’ba (Allah be pleased with him) who kept the Kunya Abu Eisa, with the consent of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace).

Author bio:
He is Abū ‛Īsa Muḥammad ibn ‛Īsa ibn Sawrah ibn Mūsa ibn al Ḍaḥḥāk al-Sulamī at-Tirmidhī (209-279 AH/824–892 AD). Imam at-Tirmidhi was born in the year 209 A.H. during the reign of the Abbasid Khalifa Ma'mun al-Rashid. The Abbasid Caliphate, despite its brilliant contributions to Islam, brought along with it many problems. Greek philosophy had a free flow into the Islamic world. This was fully sanctioned by the government until eventually it declared the Mu`tazila school of thought as the state religion. Anyone who opposed the Mu`tazila school of thought would be opposing the state. With the influence of Greek philosophy among the people, many Muslims began attempting to reconcile between (this brand of) reason and revelation. As a result many deviations were introduced and many innocent and weak Muslims were led away from Allah and His Prophet ()). Many scholars of Islam had come to the fore in order to defend the Shari`ah. Forgeries and interpolations in Hadith by rulers who wished to fulfill their personal motives were common. In the first century `Umar bin Abdul `Aziz (ra) initiated a movement for the compilation of the hadith of the Prophet (s) as there was a fear of them being lost. A number of scholars of Islam undertook this task, six among them stand taller than the rest. One of the six was Imam Abu `Isa Muhammed ibn `Isa at-Tirmidhi.
