Haseeb

Boy name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Haseeb: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1995.

Of Arabic origin, Haseeb means "noble," "esteemed," or "accountable," derived from the root ḥ-s-b relating to reckoning and honour. In Islamic tradition, Al-Haseeb is one of the 99 names of God, meaning "The Reckoner" or "The Bringer of Judgment." Notable bearers include Haseeb Hameed, the English cricketer of Pakistani descent who made his Test debut in 2016, and Haseeb Ahsan, a former Pakistani cricketer and later administrator. While no major place directly shares the name, its variants—like Hasib—are found across the Muslim world. The name has become increasingly familiar in Scotland through its use among South Asian and Middle Eastern communities, where it is prized for its dignified meaning and spiritual resonance.
