Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Haneen: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2018.
Rooted in Arabic, Haneen comes from حنين (hanin) meaning “yearning” or “longing” – a poetic name that evokes deep emotion. One well-known bearer is Haneen Zoabi, the former Israeli Arab member of the Knesset whose political activism brought the name international attention. While no major places share the name, its softer variant Haneenah appears occasionally, and the root appears in classical Arabic poetry about homesickness and love. In Scotland, Haneen has grown in use since the early 2000s, reflecting the country’s multicultural community. It offers a lyrical, meaningful choice for parents drawn to names with a sense of heartfelt desire.
