What is the meaning of the name Hasina ?

Hasina is Arabic, Swahili in Origin.

Hasina is an Arabic feminine name, written حسينة and transliterated Ḥasīnah or Ḥasīna. Its base is the Semitic root ḥ-s-n, expressing goodness, beauty, and excellence; the earliest relevant Arabic form is the adjective ḥasan, good, handsome, or pleasing. Hasina uses the feminine -ah ending on the pattern faʿīlah, giving the literal sense beautiful, good, or excellent.

In Muslim naming, the ḥ-s-n root gained religious resonance through Qur’anic vocabulary such as ḥasanah, a good deed, and through names including Hasan and Husayn. Hasina appears across Arabic-speaking communities and in South Asian Muslim use, where spellings such as Haseena reflect Urdu and English conventions; Swahili use on the East African coast is largely tied to Arabic-Islamic contact. In the United States it has remained uncommon, with Social Security data showing small numbers from the 1970s onward. Sheikh Hasina, former prime minister of Bangladesh, is the best-known modern bearer.
