Haneen

Meaning of Haneen

Haneen is a warm Arabic name meaning “yearning” or “longing,” and it carries a gentle, emotive grace that feels both timeless and personal. Pronounced hah-NEEN, its two-syllable melody is easy on English tongues, giving it an inviting sparkle from the very first introduction. Though Haneen remains charmingly uncommon in the U.S.—hovering around thirty to forty newborns each year and sitting near the 900th spot—it’s precisely that blend of meaningful heritage and distinctive flair that has won over so many parents. Imagine a name that stirs the heart like a soft desert breeze or wraps you in the quiet comfort of home; that’s the spirit of Haneen, a name perfectly suited for a little girl destined to nurture her dreams with compassion, curiosity, and quiet strength.
