Mohsen is a Persian form of the Arabic name Muḥsin (مُحْسِن), meaning "beneficent" or "doer of good." The Arabic name is an active participle from the root ḥ-s-n (ح-س-ن), which carries the sense of goodness, beauty, and excellence. It comes from the verb aḥsana (أَحْسَنَ), "to do good" or "to do well," and is related to the noun iḥsān, "doing what is good or excellent." In Islamic usage, iḥsān also means acting with sincere excellence. The Arabic name is rendered Muhsin in Arabic and Turkish and Mohsin in Urdu.

The Arabic name Muḥsin is an active participle, and its plural form muḥsinīn appears in the Quran for "those who do good."
