Hello SEIT, actually it is عَلَم [a'alam] as Mr. Saleh stated and my addition is اسم علم = proper noun (also proper name)
■ noun a name for an individual person, place, or organization, having an initial capital letter. Often contrasted with common noun.
Concise Oxford English Dictionary

Saleh Dardeer Apr 18, 2012:
عَلَم `Alam, not `Ilm it is
في اللغة بمعنى العلامة، والوسم، والعلم، والرسم، والجبل، والأثر، والراية . أما في التعريف الاصطلاحي، فالعلم هو الاسم الذي يعين مسماه مطلقا. وقد يدل على اسم شخص، أو اسم حيوان، أو اسم مكان، أو اسم شيء.

Sorry, I don't understand... Sorry, I don't understand - how can the term اسم علم, literally meaning 'name of knowledge' actually mean the name of a person?

neutral Linda Al-Bairmani : I believe when it comes to names one transliterates sounds not letters I would go for ad-deen

neutral Saleh Dardeer : None pronounces it mohiuddin. Mohie Al-Din the laam letter should not be transliterated. it is not pronounced because it is laam shamsiyyah

Proper noun

مُحْيي الدين This name(proper noun is pronounced Muhyi*din.
The deason why I put "* " is to inform you that d has got a stress before it.But becareful not to pro nounce the ال because د belongs to one of the arabic letters which are a-sh-msiya. These letters do not want ل to be pronounced.
اسم علم But this one is proounced as Issmu alam meaning proper noun.
The reason why I used double s is to inform you that the s in Issmu is pronounced as s as in "best" but it is not pronounced as s as in "plasma".
