There are two different Arabic names that are both romanized with the spelling `` Hassan ''. However, they are pronounced differently, and in Arabic script spelled differently. The more common name ‏ حَسَن ‎ Ḥasan ( as in the name of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad 's grandson Hasan ibn Ali ), coming from the triconsonantal root Ḥ - S-N, has two short vowels and a single / s /. Its meaning is ' the good ' or ' the handsome '. Its usual form in Classical Arabic is الحسن al - Ḥasan, incorporating the definite article al -, which may be omitted in modern Arabic names. The name ‏ حَسَّان ‎ Ḥassān, which comes from the same Arabic root, has a long vowel and a doubled / sː /. Its meaning is ' doer of good ' or ' benefactor '. It is not used with the definite article in Classical Arabic. In the romanized spelling Hassan, it is not possible to distinguish which of the two names is intended. The ambiguity can be removed by romanizing the former name as Hassan with a single a, and reserving the spelling with doubled a for the latter name, or romanizing the former as Hasan and the latter as Hassan. King al - Ḥasan of Morocco ( officially romanized as Hassan, with a double ss, due to the influence of French orthography ) is an example of the former. The early Islamic poet Ḥassān ibn Thābit is an example of the latter. In the original Arabic, the two different names are easily distinguished.
