Origin
Meaning and history of Hazin
The name Hazin has its origins in the Arabic language and culture, with roots tracing back to the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Arabic word "hazin," which means "melancholic" or "sorrowful." This name was likely bestowed upon individuals who possessed a pensive or introspective nature or perhaps endured hardships early in life.
In the 9th century, a prominent Arabic scholar named Hazin al-Baghdadi was known for his work in the field of linguistics and literature. He authored several influential texts that explored the intricacies of the Arabic language and its poetic traditions. Unfortunately, few details about his personal life have survived through the centuries.
During the 12th century, a revered Sufi mystic and poet named Hazin al-Qadiri gained recognition for his spiritual teachings and contemplative verses. His works celebrated the divine mysteries of existence and often reflected a sense of longing and melancholy, perhaps alluding to the meaning behind his name.
In the realm of Islamic history, the name Hazin is associated with Hazin ibn al-Muhallab, an 8th-century military leader who played a pivotal role in the Abbasid Revolution. His strategic prowess and leadership skills were instrumental in the overthrow of the Umayyad Caliphate, ushering in a new era of Islamic rule.
Another notable figure bearing the name Hazin was a 13th-century Persian poet and philosopher, Hazin Lahi. His poetic works explored themes of love, spirituality, and the human condition, earning him a place among the esteemed literary figures of his time.
Closer to modern times, Hazin Lahiji was a 17th-century Persian philosopher and theologian who contributed significantly to the discourse on Islamic metaphysics and ethics.

FAQ
Hazin: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Hazin?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Hazin going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 57,125,723 US residents.
Is Hazin a common name?
We classify Hazin as "Very Rare". It ranks above 22.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Hazin most popular?
The single biggest year for Hazin was 2007, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Hazin is about 19 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Hazin in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Hazin a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Hazin in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Hazin still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Hazin in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Hazin can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
