Hussein (also spelled Husayn and Husain) is a common Middle Eastern name especially among shiite muslims, because of the popularity of Hussein bin Ali, the grandson of the prophet Muhammad and the shiites' third Imam.
The name is held by two of Arab world's most famous political leaders:

- King Hussein, late King of Jordan
Also, it is the name of Malaysia's third prime minister Tun Hussein Onn.
