We study the strain tuning of magnetism in Mn doped MoS2 monolayer system. With the increase of the tensile strain, the magnetic ground state changes from a state with total magnetic moment M-tot = 1.0 mu(B) to another state with M-tot = 3.0 mu(B) for single doping in a 4 x 4 supercell. Physical mechanism is elucidated from the effects of the local bonding and geometry symmetries on orbital hybridization. In addition, we find the ferromagnetic coupling is favored for small distances between Mn atoms corresponding to the uniform doping concentration of 25%. More importantly, the ferromagnetic state is highly stable and robust to tensile strains. Therefore, diluted magnetic semiconductors can be obtained and the strain engineering should be a very promising approach to tune the magnetic moments.
