In Islam, 'Mahdi' (same etymology) is also a term used to refer to a leader who will appear and restore peace and justice before the end of the world. A kind of messiah, if you will.- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahdi (in English)

This name was very common in the 80s during Iran-Iraq war ironically in both countries while people were seeking a savior! It is pronounced more like Mahdi in Iran and Mehdi in Iraq/Arabic countries. Nowadays, Mahdi is considered a non-religious name especially among young people in Iran.

In fact, Mahdi is more Persian and Mehdi is more (informal) Arabic. I hope they do more research and revise the description.
