Hasani

Hasani is a name used as both a given name and a surname. It is derived from Arabic Hasan, meaning "good" or "handsome," with the -i suffix forming a nisba or adjectival ending that can indicate origin or attribution.

In Arabic, Hasani can signify lineage or affiliation with Hasan, and in other languages it has become a personal name independent of direct genealogical meaning. The spelling is variable in transliteration from Arabic and other scripts, with Hasani, Hasāni, or Hāsānī appearing in different contexts.

Hasani is found across multiple regions. In East Africa, among Swahili and Somali-speaking communities, it is used as a given name. In the Balkans, particularly among Albanian-speaking populations, it can appear as a surname. The name is also present in broader Muslim communities and among diasporas, adapted to local naming conventions.

Notable people bearing the name include figures from sports, academia, and public life, reflecting its cross-cultural adoption. However, no single individual defines the name in popular culture.
