Since the name is not written in Arabic, I can only guess at the spelling. 
Since he is some sort of a prophet, I assume mim damma waw hamza fatha dal
tashdid kasra ba' is meant.  This word means educator and in certain parts
of North Africa a mu'addib is a teacher in a Koran school.

Pronounce it m followed by long u sound (u in German Blume) followed by a
glottal stop (tt as in Boston pronunciation of bottle) followed by a as in
Frenchman followed by dd (as in they paid Dan, not like they pay Dan)
follwed by i as in did followed by a b souned (swallowed a little more than
in English -- hard to describe but English b is acceptable).
