Etymology

The Somali spelling of Hasan ('good, beautiful') - honoring Hasan ibn Ali, the Prophet's grandson; the X spells the Arabic ha in Somali orthography.

Notable Historical Usage

Somali has taken in Arabic vocabulary over centuries of contact across the Gulf of Aden, and Arabic names are adapted to Somali sound rather than borrowed unchanged, which is why familiar names appear in unfamiliar shapes.
