Meaning and origin of Tahsin
Speakers in Turkey, the Balkans and Bangladesh write taḥsīn as Tahsin. The underlying idea is improvement: taking something good and making it better or more beautiful. Its root, ḥ-s-n, is the same source that gives the names Hasan and Ihsan, so the three are close cousins. During the last decades of the Ottoman Empire it was a widespread choice for boys, and it still lives on among Turks and Bosnian Muslims today.
