Ahsan meaning
Ahsan (احسن) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
Better, best; more or most good or beautiful
Also used to mean: most beautiful
Ahsan (احسن) is the Arabic aḥsan, the comparative and superlative of ḥasan, "good, beautiful", the word behind the names Hasan and Husain. Lane's lexicon gives it as "better" or "best", "more" or "most" good, beautiful or comely. The Quran uses it often, as in 95:4, where humankind is made "in the best of forms". Name lists give Ahsan as "best" or "most beautiful". It is a different name from Ehsan, which comes from iḥsān, "kindness, doing good", although both share the same root.
