The surname "HASEEB" originates from the Arabic language and can be traced back to the Middle East region, particularly in areas that are now part of Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name "HASEEB" can be found in historical Arabic manuscripts and texts from the Abbasid Caliphate era, which lasted from the 8th to the 13th century. These manuscripts often mentioned individuals with the name, indicating their noble lineage or distinguished status within the society of that time.

During the medieval period, the name "HASEEB" gained prominence in various regions of the Middle East and North Africa, as well as in parts of the Iberian Peninsula, which was under Islamic rule for several centuries.
