Girl name · 5 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Husna: 5 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2024.

A gentle yet powerful name of Arabic origin, Husna means "most beautiful" or "excellence," and is one of the 99 names of Allah in Islam, specifically Al-Asma al-Husna (the most beautiful names). A prominent bearer was Husna bint Abi Bakr, the younger sister of Aisha and a respected companion of the Prophet Muhammad. The name echoes geographically through places like Husna in Jordan, though it remains relatively rare in Scotland. Husna is also a common female name across Muslim communities in South Asia and the Middle East, where it is sometimes spelled Hosna or Husn. Its meaning of beauty and virtue gives it a timeless, graceful feel that pairs well with both traditional and modern names.
