The surname Hasic has its origins in Bosnia and Herzegovina, tracing back to the 15th century. It is derived from the Turkish word "has," which means "pure" or "noble." The name was likely adopted by Muslim Bosnians during the Ottoman Empire's rule over the region.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Hasic surname can be found in the Defter-i Mufassal, a comprehensive tax register compiled by the Ottoman authorities in the late 15th century. This document lists several individuals bearing the name Hasic residing in various parts of Bosnia.
