Asan
Meaning of Asan
Asan is a masculine name of Arabic origin, generally regarded as a variant of Hassan—derived from the root ḥ-s-n, meaning “handsome” or “good”—and is rendered in English as AH-sahn (/ˈɑsɑn/). Phonetically, it follows a simple CV-CV structure with an open back vowel and a voiceless alveolar fricative, lending itself to clear, effortless pronunciation across English-speaking contexts. In the United States, Asan has maintained a quietly steady presence since the late 1990s, with annual birth occurrences ranging from 5 to 16 and Social Security rankings fluctuating between 792 and 931; it peaked at 16 newborns (rank 913) in 2023 before a slight decline to 10 (rank 914) in 2024. This consistent yet low-frequency profile suggests appeal for parents seeking a name that bridges cross-cultural heritage and statistical rarity, while its compact form minimizes predictable diminutives. Asan’s combination of technical simplicity and meaningful etymology positions it as an analytically grounded choice with subtle cultural resonance.
