Haseeb is Arabic in Origin.

From the Arabic root H-S-B (hasaba, to reckon/consider), Haseeb (Hasib) is an honorific given name meaning “esteemed, noble, worthy of respect.” In Islamic theology, Al-Hasib - one of the 99 Names of God - adds the nuance “the Reckoner” or “the Sufficient,” reinforcing ideas of accountability and sufficiency. The name thus blends social prestige with moral weight, appealing across Muslim cultures.

Documented across the Muslim world since the early Islamic centuries, it appears in Arabic and Persian texts and spread widely through Urdu and Bengali usage, with modern bearers in South Asia, the Middle East, and the diaspora (e.g., cricketer Haseeb Hameed). Common variants and transliterations include Hasib, Haseeb, Hassib, and Hasseb; Turkish has Hasip. Feminine forms are Hasiba/Hasibah and Haseeba. The theophoric compound Abd al-Hasib (“servant of the Reckoner”) is also traditional. The name’s concise sound and dignified meaning keep it in steady, understated use.
