Housna

Housna is a proper noun that can refer to a feminine given name and toponyms in various parts of the Arab world. The spelling varies with transliteration from Arabic, including Husna, Hosna, Hasna, and Housna.

The given name is commonly derived from the Arabic word husna, meaning beauty or goodness, and is often interpreted as a blessing or positive attribute in personal naming.

In Arabic-speaking communities across North Africa and the Middle East, Housna is used as a personal name and appears in literature and contemporary life in various spellings.

As a toponym, Housna appears in some maps and administrative records as the name of villages or rural settlements; the precise location and status of such places can change with administrative reforms.

Because transliteration can obscure the link between name and meaning, sources may vary in how they render this name. Related names and spellings to explore include Hasna, Hosna, Husna, and related toponyms that share the same etymological roots.
