The name Baxsan is a girl's name of African origin meaning "escape".

Derived from the Somali <em>baxsasho</em> meaning "escape, elude", this name was notably borne by singer and stage actress Seynab Haji Ali Siigaale, a one of Somali's most popular performers in the 20th century. She was given the name by fellow popular singer, Guduudo Carwo, after she escaped to Somaliland following a failed coup against the Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie. Known for her lyrics and poetry promoting peace and reconciliation during the Somali civil war, her name has been used (nearly exclusively) in Somalia since then.
