Spelling varies by language and diaspora: Ihsan (standard Arabic and Turkish), Ehsan or Ehsaan (Persian and South Asian), and Ihsane/Ihssane (common in North Africa), with Ihssan used in Morocco and among Francophone families. Predominantly masculine in Turkey, Iran, and South Asia, it can be unisex in the Maghreb, where Ihsane/Ihssane often serve as feminine forms. The name is sometimes confused with Hassan (حسن), but they are etymologically distinct.
