History & Origin
Mahasin comes from Arabic, where it is the plural of 'mahsana' and means the collected 'beauties' or 'virtues' of a person. As a name it honors both moral and physical goodness. It reached American birth records chiefly through Arabic-speaking and Muslim families in the later twentieth century.
Mahasin was never common in the United States, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 1979 and staying in scattered use for decades after. A girl named Mahasin then is in her forties today.
