Ihsan is a versatile and harmonious name suitable for both boys and girls. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Kindness', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Ihsan has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Ihsan comes from the Arabic root h-s-n, meaning “to do good” or “to excel.” In Islamic theology, Ihsan is described in the well-known Hadith of Jibril as the highest of the three dimensions of faith, after Islam and Iman - worshipping Allah as though one sees Him.
