Hassan (surname)

Hassan (also spelled Hasan, Hassen, Hasson, Hassin, Hassine, Hacen, Hasen, Hasin, Hass, Hassa, Hasa, Hess, Cassin, Chassan, Chasan, Chasson, Chason, Khassan, Khasan, Cassan, Casan, Hasso, Hassanein, Hasnen, Hassani, Hasani, Alhassan, Al-Hassan, Lassana, Alassane, Lacen, Lasanah, Assan, Asan, Asanov, Hasanov/Hasanova, Khasanov/Khasanova, Hasanoff, Jasanoff, Hasanović, Hasanovic, Asanović, Hasanovich, Asanovski, O'Hassan, Haasan, or Hasaan) is an Arabic, Irish, Scottish, or Hebrew surname.

Etymology and spelling

There are several unrelated origins for this name:

  • In Arabic, the surname Hassan (حسن, Ḥasan) means "handsome", "manly", "strong", "good" or "benefactor".
  • In Ireland/Scotland, the surname Hassan is one of the anglicized forms of the Gaelic (Irish/Scottish) form of Ó hOsáin. It is to be distinguished from Ó hOisín and Ó hOiseáin (Hession and Hishon). In County Londonderry, where it is numerous, it is spelt Hassan, Hassen, Hasson, Hassin and Hessin. In the Monaghan Hearth Money Rolls of 1663, it appears as O'Hassan. There was a Hasson of Wexford among the "principal gentlemen" of that county in 1598, but that family was no doubt of non-Gaelic stock, and a John Hassan was an influential merchant in Wexford fifty years earlier.

    The Beatboxer Who Broke My Heart

    by: Hey Ocean

    I walked into the boutique
    He was standing there
    I could swear I had seen his face in there before
    It was this time last week
    I realized it just as soon as I stepped in the door
    I pretended to be interested in some shoes
    'Cause if not I thought he'd start to wonder
    As I left him I did something that I never do
    I asked him on a whim for his number
    Gave him a call the first day after
    One of those awkward phone conversations full of pauses
    and lots of laughter
    Got stoked on his music
    Inspiration
    Planned to meet that week at Robson square
    Showed up late
    Oops
    10 past 9
    Lucky for me he still was there
    He planned his joint to pass the time
    I started to feel this beat
    This beat
    This brilliant beat
    Pounding in my head
    My chest
    My knees
    My feet
    Should've seen it coming right from the start
    Beatboxer who broke my heart
    So we continued walking down Robson street
    And as we keep talking I keep feeling the beat
    All of a suddenly boom
    We overflow with conversation
    Was beginning to really enjoy the situation
    As I watched his lips move with such precision and
    agility
    There was no room to improve upon this boy's beatboxing
    ability
    Into a couple weeks of chilling in a similar way
    This certain boy started filling all my thoughts
    through the day
    I was overwhelmed by this boy
    Amazed and enchanted
    I was his toy and boy did he ever take me for granted
    I started to feel this beat
    This beat
    This brilliant beat
    Pounding in my head
    My chest
    My knees
    My feet
    Should've seen it coming right from the start
    Beatboxer who broke my heart
    (Hit 'em with a little more funk)
    So as the week goes he starts acting weird
    And my heart doesn't wanna doubt him
    In my head it was a feeling I had always feared
    He said there's something I should know about him
    I said I don't care what you've done in the past
    You know we've all got our dirty secrets
    I said this is something I really want to last
    But when he looked at me my world turned beatless
    He said listen miss
    I'm really feeling your kiss
    But still a million would give their opinion of this
    But let's be honest
    You were just another chick on my list
    And if my misses heard about this she would be pissed
    I couldn't even think of what to say
    A million broken beats drove right through me
    I took a breath another one and simply walked away
    Not believing that a boy could do this to me
    I walked home soaked in regret
    The rain turned to hail
    Then snow
    Then sleet
    I turned my face trying to forget what was left of
    The beat
    The beat
    The brilliant beat
    Pounding in my head
    My chest
    My knees
    My feet
    Should've seen it coming right from the start
    Beatboxer who broke my heart
    The beat
    The beat
    The brilliant beat
    Pounding in my head
    My chest
    My knees
    My feet
    Should've seen it coming right from the start
    Beatboxer who broke my
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    The beat
    I should've seen it coming right from the start
