Maysoon is of Arabic origin, meaning 'beautiful' or 'graceful'. It is often associated with roses due to its phonetic similarity to the Arabic word for rose ('wardah'). This name gained popularity in the Middle East during the 20th century and has since been embraced worldwide. Maysoon is typically used for girls but can also be used for boys, reflecting its unisex nature.
The name Maysoon has seen fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a peak of 11 births in both 2007 and 2009. However, since then, its usage has declined, with fewer than 9 births per year from 2010 onwards, and occasionally dipping below 5 births per year.
