Ahsen

Ahsen is a personal name that appears in several Muslim-majority cultures and among the global diaspora. It is a transliteration variant of the Arabic given name Ahsan, which occurs in several forms depending on language and region. The root ḥ-s-n in Arabic relates to goodness and beauty, and the form ahsan is commonly interpreted as "the best" or "most virtuous." In many communities, Ahsen is used as a masculine given name; alternate spellings such as Ahsan or Ahsaan are also common, reflecting local linguistic conventions.

Geographically, the name is found across Arabic-speaking populations and in countries influenced by Arabic or Persian naming traditions, including parts of the Middle East, South Asia, and the African and Southeast Asian diasporas. It may also appear in Turkish-influenced contexts, where phonetic spellings adapt to local orthography. In modern times, people named Ahsen work in diverse occupations and participate in many aspects of public life.

As a surname, Ahsen is much less common, but it can occur in some families through regional naming practices or patronymic conventions. There is no single place or institution universally identified by the name Ahsen, but the form remains widely recognized as a given name across multiple cultures.
