What is the meaning of the name Hassen ?

The baby name Hassen is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EN: /ˈhæsən/ (HAS-en); AR: /ħaˈsan/ (ha-SAHN).

Hassen is Arabic in Origin.

Hassen is a Maghrebi and Francophone spelling of the Arabic given name derived from the root H-S-N, which denotes goodness and beauty. It corresponds to Hasan (حسن, “handsome; good; excellent”) and to Hassān (حسّان, “greatly good; benefactor”) in Classical Arabic. The form with double s became common in North Africa under French orthography and also appears as a family name.

Use is deep in Islamic history: Hasan ibn ʿAlī, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, ensured the name’s prestige across the Muslim world, while the poet Hassān ibn Thābit reinforced the geminated form. Today Hassen and its kin are found from the Maghreb and the Horn of Africa to the Levant and South Asia. Variants include Hasan, Hassan, Hassān, Hassane, Hassène; Turkish Hasan; Persian and Urdu Hasan; Swahili Hasani; and Somali Hassan. Feminine counterparts include Hasna, Hassana, and Hasnaa.
