The earliest recorded instances of the name KHASANOVA can be found in historical documents from the Kazan region, such as census records and land ownership records. One of the earliest known individuals with this surname was Fatima Khasanova, a prominent landowner in the village of Yelabuga in the late 17th century.

During the Soviet era, the KHASANOVA surname was found among both Tatar and Russian families, as intermarriage between ethnic groups became more common. A famous bearer of this name was Guliya Khasanova (1935-2005), a celebrated Tatar actress who starred in numerous films and theater productions.
