What Al-Muhaymin means
Al-Muhaymin means the One who watches over everything, guards it and takes care of it. Nothing in creation happens outside His sight, knowledge and control. The Qur'an itself is called 'muhaymin' over the earlier books (5:48), meaning it guards and confirms their truth, and Allah is the Guardian over all.
