Husin

Husin is a masculine given name that also appears as a surname in some Muslim communities. The spelling is most common in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia, where it is often seen as a local transliteration of the Arabic name Husayn (also rendered Husain, Hussein, or Hussain). In Arabic, Husayn is a diminutive of Hasan and carries meanings related to goodness or beauty; the form Husin in Malay and Indonesian contexts preserves this root while reflecting local phonology.

In naming practice, Husin is typically used as a first name for men. It may appear alone or as part of a longer name in which it is combined with other elements, such as religious or familial components. As a surname, Husin is less widespread but occurs in communities with Arabic- or Malay-influenced naming traditions, sometimes deriving from a patronymic lineage.

The name Husin may also appear in literature, media, and public life, reflecting its regional usage and diaspora. It should not be confused with the more common transliterations Hussein/Husain/Hussain, which refer to the same Arabic root but differ in spelling.

Because of its cross-cultural usage, the interpretation of Husin can vary by country and community. If you are looking for information about a specific person, place, or work named Husin, providing additional context will help identify the correct subject.
