Across the world, Махсун (Mahsun 
, Makhsun , Махсун

The first name Махсун is characteristic of Turkey, where it is quite a rare male name, Indonesia, where it is a rare principally boy's, but very infrequently girly name, and Iraq, where it is a rare boy's name. Much less frequently, Махсун is the last name as well as the forename.
