What Does the Name Hasson Mean?
Hasson is primarily a surname that has also been used as a given name. One established origin is Sephardic Jewish. It comes from the Hebrew word ḥason (חָסוֹן), meaning "strong" or "mighty." Some sources instead connect the name to Hebrew ḥazzan (חַזָּן), meaning "cantor," but that word is usually spelled with a z in English (Hazan), and the double s in Hasson more often reflects ḥason. A separate English surname Hasson is a patronymic formed from the medieval personal name Hasse, a pet form of Harry (a form of Henry), plus -son, so it means "son of Hasse." The Arabic given name Hassan, meaning "good" or "handsome," is not the same name.
Hasson Name History & Origins
The Sephardic surname Hasson is associated with Jewish communities that lived in the Iberian Peninsula and, after the expulsions from Spain and Portugal in the late 15th century, in the Ottoman Empire. It appears among Jews in Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, and on Rhodes. The name comes from the Hebrew word ḥason, "strong," which likely began as a personal name or nickname and became hereditary in these communities.
The English surname Hasson arose separately in northern England. Patronymic surnames ending in -son were common in the Middle Ages, and Hasson comes from the personal name Hasse, a short form of Harry (Henry). It originally meant "son of Hasse" and is recorded in Lancashire and neighboring counties.
As a given name, Hasson is a transferred use of the surname.
