Hasib

Hasib is a masculine given name of Arabic origin. It derives from the triliteral root ḥ-s-b, which is associated with counting, reckoning, and estimation. In Islamic tradition, Al-Hasib is one of the 99 names of God, signifying the attribute of being the All-Reckoner or The Reckoner. As a personal name, Hasib is used in various Muslim-majority regions and communities around the world. Spelling and transliteration vary, with common forms including Haseeb, Hasip, and Haseebur.

The name is widely found in South Asia, particularly in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, as well as in Arab-speaking countries and among the global Muslim diaspora. It is generally treated as a masculine name, though naming practices can differ across cultures and languages. In many communities, Hasib is chosen for its positive associations with responsibility, reliability, and intellect, qualities linked to its meaning related to accounting or reckoning.

Hasib may appear as a standalone given name or as part of compound forms in longer names, such as Hasibullah in some cultural contexts. The name’s simplicity, favorable meaning, and religious resonance contribute to its ongoing use in diverse regions. As with many traditional names, its popularity and spelling continue to evolve with cultural and linguistic shifts, while its core significance remains tied to the concept of careful consideration and accountability.
